Here is a section of the syslog for the shutdown I just reproduced: Feb 27 11:57:19 d_baron kdm[912]: Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly Feb 27 11:57:21 d_baron kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0). Feb 27 11:57:21 d_baron kernel: atkbd.c: This is an XFree86 bug. It shouldn't ac cess hardware directly.

Does mplayer also kill your X > session? I do not have mplayer. I am, obviously, using kdm as a display/X-handler. There are two other entries here of note: atkbd.c unknown key -- No keys were pressed to run netbeans nor were any pressed to restart until I typed my password to login. Note that this thing traps a lot of stuff. When I succumb to temptation and run uhic-hcd, a tap on the power switch will enable me to shut down. This is also flagged by atkbd.c. The shutdown is not a correct shutdown. ypbind[619] broadcast: RPC: Timed out. I have one of these every 74 seconds. This was flagged on google (this time I checked) but no solutions. What is it. This is apparently harmless but might as well fix it :-) I think there is a bootup message relating to this as well. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
