also actually with gnome etc. attimes my keyboard locks up and the mouse still works. only the screen is totally frozen and mouse clicks dont work. ctrl-alt-bkspc also and ctrl+alt+F1-f10 also dont work. I have no choiuce but to do a reset. The pc stll apperas to be working as i can move the mouse pointer around, and the acecat tablet i havestill works too.
My system works perfectly most of the time. Even UT2003 demo i can play for hours without any problems.
I can recreate this problem whenever i want by opening file dialogs. such as those i use to select a graphic to use as wallpaper or panel background. browsing one or two subdir's down the lock up happens.
I have tried to find out why, i disabled ( uninstalled) hotplug, disabled ide UDMA5/4, supermount etc. i also check all the logs but no clues.
also when i use a tar or gzip or zip frontend, like ark or file roller this will happen. doesnt happen with cmd line tar or gzip. this is actually the first time it happened.
copying files or even 1-2 gb a a time also doesnt cause any problem.
can somebody help me out. this is really strange and in three years of using linux i have never seen such a problem thats so irritating.
