Sometimes when I switch from ptty #7 (X) to one of the others the system locks up. Sometimes it doesn't. A wild guess is that it's a problem with the video card driver - RIVA TNT2 (an on-board controller). Does anyone have any other ideas? ____________________________________________________________________________ Bob Shaffer II - Owner, Developer, System Operator - BobShaffersComputer.com bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://bobshafferscomputer.com/ /"\ \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN - AGAINST HTML MAIL X CAMPANHA DA FITA ASCII - CONTRA MAIL HTML / \
