Are you using ps2 or usb mouse and keyboard? Is the bios up to date? What is a pre-ps2 keyboard? ps2 keyboards have a small round 6 pin connector just like ps2 mice. Old AT keyboards had a 5 pin din connector that was quite a bit larger. Does anyone still use those? Is usb legacy support enabled in the bios? (if you don't use a usb keyboard, try turning it off). Which window manager are you running? For a while I saw a lot of lockups when I tried to run firefox under kde. Use anything other than kde, and crashes/lockups went away. That was a few months ago though. Seems better now. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
