well for one thingg, ctrl-alt-backspace would have been more suitable then
crtl-alt-del, you wanted to kill x not linux.
another thing you could have done is used the alt-ctrl-F1-F6 and opened
another console, and used that to kill X
it sounds like the problem you have has something to do with the PM
settings.
dunno, I don't really use X at all in normal use, (I use mdk for servers,
not desktops) though I usually put kde on them for the purposes of allowing
the client to have something pretty to look at, and show then how to add
users and stuff graphically..
other then that, I don't have alot of use for X at the moment, because of
the shear number of graphics programs, and others that I use on a weekly
basis, I still have win2000 on my notebook (I hate it, it may be more stable
then win95/98 but it bites the big one for speed... the notebook is a PII
400 with 128mb ram and 8mb ATI video. but you'd swear it was an 8mb 486SX
trying to run win98.
Has anyone heard of Linux working with MiniPCI winmodems? (IE I have a
Compaq M700)
anyway, thats enough ranting for me...

Subject: Re: [expert] xfce-new -- Subscription info
Ok Benjamin I finally had to hard boot my machine (6 months of
stability) all because of xfce. Maybe you can explain how this
happened. I fired up xfce and I must admit it looks really cool so I
let it run. When my monitor went into power save I simply hit the
mouse (as I always do in KDE) and nothing happened, I then hit the
space bar, nothing happened. My screen was black and I could not get
the video to come back (I even tried ctr-alt-delete). Finally in
disgust I hit the hard reset button and I am now back in KDE. What
did I do wrong????
