No, it could also be a kernel bug I guess. Still, it's never happened with pmud in years[0], but as soon as I run pbbuttonsd, it usually happens at least once a day. So at the very least, something that pbbuttonsd does differently than pmud seems to trigger it. > To freeze the machine is not easy but possible, but to power it off? > I don't think pbbuttonsd is capable of doing this. As Brad pointed out, it's possible when dealing with the PMU. [0] It did happen occasionally when I was running cpudyn along with pmud, but much less frequently than with pbbuttonsd without a cpufreq daemon. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
