If nobody cut it off, why check every two seconds to see if it is still there? Now if you are expecting someone to cut it off, then maybe check to see. Of course, if this happens a lot, you either need mental help or a body guard. I think hal needs mental help myself. I just thought it may be me that needs help, maybe a setting or something. This is another thing that doesn't restore my confidence hal. Still on the old xorg. Thanks much. Dale :-) :-)
