This sounds like a different type of problem than what I'm having. It sounds like your X server is dying off or something. If that is the problem, try running "SaX2" from the console and reconfiguring it from there. Or, If it dies after a period of time, try changing your APM (power management) settings, sometimes this can cause problems.

Has anyone had any problems with YaST2 crashing on them when they are trying to install new packages? Or had problems with installing LVM on a new install of SuSE?

Yes. I have had severe problems when Yast is writing to the SuSEConfig-file after installation of packages. Three times I have had the screen freeze. Every time I had to force a reboot and everytime I was then no longer able to get into KDE. Since I didn't know what else to do, I reinstalled SuSE every time.

It is probably my screen-settings that are to blame, though. I have had lots of other frozen screens with other apps than Yast (Konqueror etc.). The fault is probably my own, and I should probably change my screen-settings, but I

would sure like to do, the next time I'm dumped at the konsole and am unable to run KDE.
