kdm first.
Hanging with Stop-A is only because sparc64-linux doesn't relinquish the
USB keyboard back to the PROM correctly. I think I remember Dave saying
this was a problem that wouldn't be fixed anytime soon, if at all.
Okay; thanks for the info. I reckon I'll havta put a piece of tape over
the STOP button or something ;-) (Actually, this seems like a pretty
major thing, but I'm not a developer, so can't complain.)
The Alt+F8 thing seems weird.
I've tried changinr video depths from 24 to 16 (same behaviour), and
tried changing the video driver from ati to fbdev (which locks the
machine when X starts).
Bummer; I had a whole university-level Computer Science department of
kids just waiting to be impressed with Debian over Solaris. Yikes!
Thanks for the response! I appreciate it!
