It won't even let me ssh in from my old rig or use the SysReq keys. Sometimes tho, it acts like things are still running but the GUI is locked up. I didn't get to try to ssh in then tho. I know once I had a compile running and I could see the hard drive light blinking as it compiled. So something was working that time at least. One thing I did learn, if the lights on the keyboard are blinking, it's locked up tight. If they are not blinking, I can use the SysReq keys to reboot. I also thought about just booting Knoppix and seeing if it works. Maybe it is just some weird code that Konsole and Firefox have in common somehow. The only thing is, I'm sure they will use different version of all the software. It may not make any difference except to rule out hardware. I'm pretty sure hardware is OK but we know how hard those are to track down. One more thing on the try list if this doesn't work. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
