Or weirdness like that. > I don't know if it is a qjackctl or a gnome panel bug.. I've had that often here with various Debian releases, without any GNOME apps running. Quite often, the computer never does come back - I can move the pointer around for hours and nothing changes. I personally think it has more to do with buggy Xorg video drivers - in my case, they adamantly try to use features of the Intel i830 chipset that don't exist at all in my laptop's i810 chipset, *even though the X server is using the i810 driver.* -- David gnome@xxxxxxxxxxxxx authenticity, honesty, community _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
