By the way, the laptop has begun acting strange since I've been trying to get the winmodem working. When I use the kdm menu to shut down the machine, it begins to shut down, then the screen goes blank. The mouse's pointer is still there and moves with the mouse but everything else is gone. I waited a while, then shut down using Alt + SysReq + RSEIUB. Have I changed a setting by accident with one of these commands? Is this a weird coincidence or rather somehow related? > If it is not there, there is a resource conflict.
