It has caused me problems. After clicking it away or even waiting for it to time-out I cannot execute anything from my desktop or panel bar. The system is frozen until I logout. Then whatever I tried to execute decides to run. Of coarse by then it's to late and I get logged out. It has even hosed me up so bad I couldn't even logout and had to hit the reset button. It doesn't happen every time just most of the time. Sooner or later I think it's gonna byte someone else.
It's bit me bad! I made several attempts to install SuSE 7.1 on my Dell Latitude CPi, but the system locked up solid when starting X. I couldn't 'click away' the splash screen (If it got that far...). I couldn't even switch to a normal console, or crash the X server with ctrl-alt-bksp! I had to power the box down. (In one case, I had to pull the battery!) The problem seemed to get more frequent, so I gave up and loaded SuSE 6.4. I'm now running stable, but I haven't worked out a Sound configuration yet... I'll try 7.1 again after I see some more updates appear... I'm a great fan of Linux, and SuSE in particular, but 7.1 has given me my very first total system lockup under Linux... -- Rick Green "I have the heart of a little child, and the brain of a genius. ... and I keep them in a jar under my bed"
