Any > info, pointer ? That happens in OS/2 but I would not expect to see this in Linux. A copule of times I had that problem on my laptop. It turns of the problem was that my mouse was using the same IRQ 12 as the modem.
I used at-batch to get it to reboot after I noticed the problem is occuring after touching the mouse or trying to use the modem. So my suggestion is try to make sure there is no IRQ conflicts first - otherwise you should not need a joystick reboot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ D.J.
