Its BAAaaaaaaK! This problem was rampant in 10.1 but for me at least it disappeared in 10.2. (there was a bug report in bugzilla). Two things to check out. 1) did you boot with acpi enabled. Machines that are designed for acpi frequently can not reliably run all peripherals if it gets turned off. Some machines with a bios date of prior to 2001 need to have acpi forced on. For instance this old clunk I am typing on needs acpi=force on the boot command line (in /boot/grub/menu.lst ). 2) Dual processor machines (as in core 2 duo) on occasion will not keep both processors clocks properly synchronized. As the X server gets swapped from one processor to the other, there is a clock difference, and that gets timing very confused. So if you have a dual processor, see this bugzilla entry https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223561#c22 and see if the problem goes away with taskset trick, and if so be sure to post to that bug and mention it still exists with 10.2. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
