I vaguely remember something about this in posts of recent weeks. Lockups of X server, and a work around. I can't recall the details. Have you searched Novell's bugzilla or the archives. Just for grins, try booting with a boot command line parameter of "hpet=disable" (or nohpet if x86_64. ) I don't know where I read that or maybe I'm mistaken, but its harmless in any event. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
