I'm not sure yet what the cause is but i think I've figured it out. I recently started experiencing random lockups when using the keramik style. I finally got "persuaded" to find some sort of fix when my computer locked up in the middle of me typing a paper. So in i go to the innards of my computer and nothing I find until by chance I remember that I installed the newest kernel and realize by some marvellous twist of fate i didn't have to recompile my nvidia drivers. I look into it more and realize that the initrd being used is from 9.0 (supermount fix) kernel but the actual kernel is cookerized. Hmmm, and the wheels start turning. Couple minutes later i do a mkinitrd restart on sure enough 1.) X crashes and 2.) acpi works. This pretty confirms my suspicions that my suspicions that i was using modules from the old kernel in the new kernel. Which means that the NVIDIA modules weren't exactly in sync. My expert opinion is now that the galaxy theme was not in fact causing my lockups. I still don't know if the problems will show up again. I'll consider it gone after about a week without rebooting.

[Cooker] Kernel multimedia?
Where the heck is that package on the cds. Is it a package, a search for "kernel" in rpmdrake doesn't turn it up.
[Cooker] Update function
I think I'm gonna start testing the upgrade function on 9.0, 9.1 RCs and maybe Debian and gentoo(?). Good idea or no. Maybe I should just test on rpm based distributions. Is it working reasonably well for me to be able to do this. -- Real Users hate Real Programmers.
