No..it wouldn't..but if you have an nVidia card this might be the reason. In the past KDM + nVidia cards = trouble. Try shutting off all those login managers whether it's GDM, XDM or KDM and just type startx at the prompt. See if you still get lockups.
I think I found the reason why my machine crash: It seems to be an filesystem error. When the machine crashed just now, I had a root terminal open and the kernel displayed the following message as it's last dying words: journel-712 :buffer write failed This message never gets written to any log file (the filesystem is broken by then) I googled, but I did not find much, except for the kernel code and some suggestions on changes in the code. Has anybody seen this before? Can I fix it?
