hi Larry
i have a similar problem when i first used mdk8... X
hangs up as soon as its loaded... and the keyboard is
hanged too. cant ctrl-alt-fX to any console. i have
verified that even though X is hanged, i can still
login thru the network and make a proper shutdown. i
figured that on my system (dell machine) its having
problems with keyboard and mouse using psaux... i used
a serial mouse then rebooted ... viola! problem
solved. i dont know if this is the same case as yours
though ...
