KDE locks up randomly after a few minutes.
I don't think it is KDE to blame for... (see  below).

No keyboard, no network no nothing but the button-on-the-front can unluck
What is this button on the front???

it. I cant seem to find the answer to why or what causes the lockup.
Thought it to be YAS, but even if i dont run it it locks.
Thought it was a number of other things, none applied.
It just wont run.
It looses keyboard, CAPS and NUM toggles, but you cant shift to another
terminal to kill X, and you cant even bail out with ctrl-alt-backspace. YOu
cant access the box via keyboard at all.
It also kills network connections, i cant ping let alone ssh to the box as
it hangs.
If the keyboard and ping did not work, you may be pretty sure, the machine is realy out of business at this time... ping works almoust all the time, also if the kernel is 90% crashed...

You can try Magic SysRq keys. SysRq-B reboots. If it does that, then
machine still services interrupts. May be useful:
tErm (SysRq-E): TERM all tasks
kIll: KILL all tasks
showPc: get current stacktrace
showTasks: get all processes' stacktraces
I do not know, if it will show something while X is runnung and shown.
On the other hand with my laptop the Magic SysRq do not work, as the keyboard is broken by design. So maybe you want to check the Magic-SysRq procedure first from an virtual console, while the machine is not crashed.


As you have all drivers loaded, when you start KDE (ie. sound, graphics (maybe even GL, ie. 3D-acceleration) etc.) it may show you some incompatibility then, that need not to be related to KDE itself.
