Hi,
I am seeing something strange too, trying to reliably reproduce it for a while - it is rare but irritating. Most likely to happen on cold power on (first@evening)
--- X ---
XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: January 8 1999 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ) Operating System: Linux 2.2.14 i686 [ELF] SuSE Voodo 3 2000 (PCI) now running unaccelerated
--- KDE 2 ---
--- Audio, with or without audio ---
--- Kernel --- 2.2.16 or 2.4.0-testXX
I have more or less come to the conclusion that it is some KDE 2 interaction with the X server that triggers this... And that the OS - keyboard and video still runs. I have seen data IO on modem after freeze... (Thinking about trying another window manager for awhile...)
But every time I have had an opportunity to hook up another computer, like tonight - It does not happen... :-(
