About once every hour or so, the mouse and keyboard freeze and the only option I can think of is the little reset button. Both RedHat 8 and Mandrake 9 do this, RedHat more so. Activities which have recently prompted such freezes include deleting mail in Kmail and selecting a download destination in Galeon. I have tried Mandrake with both Gnome and KDE, and Xfree versions 3.something and 4.something, and numerous programs but still the problem persists. At other times, the computer has periodic holidays, where parts of the screen are not redrawn for a while and the response to commands is very slow (about 30 seconds). This is despite having lots and lots resources and few programs open. When the keyboard freezes, even the little lights for CapsLock and so on stop working, and any other signs if life (such as hard drive access) cease. Any suggestions?? Ian
