This is annoying, but has not caused an issue until today. I had similar and similarly-weird problems caused by a faulty video card. After removing it, I could see that the capacitors were domed/cracked and the card obviously got fried somehow... it still worked most of the time, but was unstable (especially coming out of power-saving it would exhibit problems or freeze the system). I could usually still SSH in from another machine and do a proper shutdown, but not always. > Today, I was doing a world update and the screen locked - I still had m= y > KDE desktop up, but couldn't open a window to kill any processes or > anything.

Maybe part of the world update was x11 stuff and the @x11-module-rebuild set didn't get emerged yet. --------------enig8A407B1EED516650B8153F0B Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk740GEACgkQrJnO3ng8yjo0fwCffwKwRT5e2boMVlSeVQczMD5b ZW8AoM/Lli6SRHxUjdPOKZfVYTqKXQzM =ZkUk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig8A407B1EED516650B8153F0B--
