It just spent about two hours playing with the system with no keyboard freeze. And then it occurred to me that when it locked up before I was changing windows a lot but this time I had not. So, with four virtual terminals logged in and one finger on the ALT key, with something going in each window, like vmstat, top, etc, I switched windows about once a second ... for about one minute ... then the keyboard froze. Output from top continued to the window I got stuck on. Nothing, not even lighting the caps lock light worked from the keyboard after that... had to hit the reset button. -- Jan Isley coordinator, usenet volunteer votetakers
