I also wanted to note that I have rebooted numerous times, each of which this happens again. The only thing I can think of that has changed is that I am using that other NIC I was reffering to, as of today. This weekend I wired cat5 underneath the house in an effort to not require the desktops to be linked via wifi. I can't think of any reason why X would interact with a NIC though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "K sPecial" <kspecial@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: xfree86@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: X freaks and cant' be killed Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2005 17:36:52 +0800 > > Hello, today when I booted linux, I was greeted by an unwelcome > mouse freeze, looking under my optical mouse, I noticed the laser > was no longer lit.
