I'm seeing lockups also but not quite the same. The cursor is still there and moveable, but I can nolonger click on anything or change focus. I can use CTRL-ALT-F[X] to switch to a console window and kill the app I was just working in however no other key combinations that I know of work. I've had the most trouble with Freeamp. If I double click on a song list it will sometimes lockup. I've also had lockups in other apps too. Killing the app I was working in at the time of the lockup frees up the condition that caused the lockup. I can then restart it. My guess is there is a race condition. I last upgraded to SID about a week ago. -- | Bryan Andersen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.nerdvest.com | | Buzzwords are like annoying little flies that deserve to be swatted. | | -Bryan Andersen |
