Could be, but a Real Expert (tm) built this box ;-)
Dual case fans - noisy, but reassuring.
It's never been opened since construction for Fest-2002, & never locked
up under Mandrake, Suse or Win2K - in the years ago those partitions got
used.
Looks more like some obscure bug with AMD-Gnome/X-mouse-hdd sensitivity,
from the outside, with xscreensaver perhaps implicated too.
Running Linux has a price (usually multiple sacrifices), imho, & one has
to simply be ready to pay it. The majority are probably too pushed for
the requisite time.
I'll just put up with this fault, awaiting manna from (developer)
heaven. The system mostly works, like now.
But thanks for the tip.
Cheers, Rik
