All the same, there is something very peculiar, and I've no idea how to troubleshoot it. I have F9 on one box and F10 on a netbook. I had Mandriva 2008.1 on this laptop, and now I have Mandriva 2009. The first three do not have 3-5 second dead-spots, yet this laptop does. I can work quite happily for some time, then something silly happens, like an empty window for maybe 5 seconds before the pinentry box comes up. It's not a show-stopper, but it's extremely annoying. Someone on IRC has suggested that it may be because this laptop has an ATi Radeon X600 video, which is not particularly well supported (it is from before the day that ATi began to realise they need us). It was said that I'm probably having to do extra software processing to make up for its faults. Do you think this is a likely explanation? Anne
