Update: the freeze can occur on any level: But it doesn't seem to occur on the first level I choose to play. I _can_ kill X with a KILL signal, and shutdown -r will work cleanly: I just can't restart X without a reboot first: If I do [ restart X ] the signal to the monitor cuts out and it goes into standby mode, and the machine becomes completely unresponsive. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
