(No one else ever touches any machine of mine.) Correction 1 : I've done everything I can find or think of -- but that might not mean it isn't locking it. If you go into the Configuration Editor, for instance, there are an awful lot of settings that may be relevant; and I remember a release of FC when it took something like one of them to keep the fool thing from locking me out. However : Update : it is now logging me out, but not rebooting. After a fairly short while, I get a login screen, which when given userid and password tries to restore not what i was just doing, but some recent session a day or so before that. >> So I'm pretty sure the problem (in at least the case where a problem is >> confirmed) is actual full rebooting, not just a lock nor a logout. Not true any more. Still irritating, but not quite so much time being wasted trying to get back to where I left off. > My X server kicks me out every now and then, too.

I seldom do moving images of any sort, or sound either. I might sometimes let this machine play a music CD in the background -- I should, in fact -- but I haven't been doing so lately. Fwiw, it has a 36 GB hard drive and the system monitor says it has 994.8 MiB of memory. But I have no idea what a fglrx driver is, nor whether anything I run uses one. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
