Otherwise linux is running just fine to me. Everything else is ok.

Maybe, but as I said the moment that it locked, also disk shut up.
which normally does something from a moment to moment (I think that
is update or something). I will try to play a .wav file in the background
and try to lock it again, but I can't do it now - I'll report after
a few days.

: We saw something similar You mentioned yesterday. The linux box was
: still useable by remote login ..

can't check that.

: ctrl-alt-del never worked with X11. Ctrl-alt-backspace killed X11 as it
: should ...

hmm as I remember ctrl-alt-del works in X too.
I know of ctrl-alt-baskspace and tried it. - it didn't worked.
Also the xclock wich I had running stopped.

BTW, can anybody else try this? just press a lot key simultaneoulsy and fast.
just like beavis does. :)

bye.

I have Slackware 3.0 which already has X 3.1.2 or is there any new
patched version?

We have a Linux machine here that has exactly the same problems. When
running Netscape (local) or Interleaf (on a Sun, displaying it's window
on the Linux machine) the Linux box simply stops responding to keyboard
input
or mouse clicks - the mouse keeps moving, but the mouse pointer doesn't
change
anymore. The Linux machine is still accessible using remote login, and
it's
almost idling.

When the problem occured while running Interleaf, killing Interleaf on
the
Sun instantly brings the Linux machine back to life as if nothing had
hapened.
The problem is easily reproducable using Interleaf.

Maybe Netscape and Interleaf are doing something wrong and XFree 86
fails
to protect itself adequatly?

I noticed something like this happening in X with my Linux setup.  It
only happend while running Netscape.  I found that the problem was caused
by Netscap not "releasing" the mouse from input mode or something.  The
fix was to simply scroll the Netscape document up to the very very very
beginning with the scroll bar.  Then I could use the mouse for input
within xterms, etc.

Note that my experience has practically nothing to do with Linux, as I am running
the AIX Netscape binary. ( Although I saw this same problem running the Linux
binary displaying on the RS6000)
