Hi, What graphics card is in the Thinkpad? Have you checked the /var/log/XFree86.0.log for any errors? Look for messages fronted by (EE). Jostein
===== Original Message From Ron Joffe <rjoffe@yahoo.com> ===== Humm, nope I have not set a bios boot up password. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Ron

I just had my Suse 7.3 running on a IBM T20 thinkpad lock up on me. I didn't have that much going on, but the strange part was that as soon as the system froze, bot the scroll lock and caps lock button started blinking. They continued blinking until I did a hard reset. Very strange
Nothing in the messages or warn logs. Any ideas of where else to look?
I don't know about that Thinkpad, but guys in my office eventually figured out that when an IBM Intel server locks up with the LEDs blinking, it means that the BIOS security/screensaver thingy has kicked in. If you type (blindly, there's no feedback) the BIOS power-on password, it snaps back into life.
