Hummm, interesting that killing the screensaver worked for you. I tried that twice now and it did not help. So far the only thing I can do to recover is reboot. I wonder if this is a kernel bug or some kind of weird screensaver bug. I am leaning towards a kernel but because I do not think a userspace program should be able to do things like this but... I guess it is time to search bugzilla. -- ......Tom Registered Linux User #14522 http://counter.li.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] My current SpamTrap -------> [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
