The machine isn't locked up, but the keyboard/mouse are. This happens in 2.2 w/out the queing patches, and happens even with them when I blow away the keyboard with static. If I was able to 'switch' away from the X console and then switch back remotely, I *might* be able to clear it out. Switching consoles w/out needing to use the keyboard or being on a console is a good thing IMHO. I support this change, Nate
