16 I admit that was a bit unprecise. What happens is that sometimes the X
17 Server stops responding, meanwhile there's A LOT of hard disk activity
18 (swapping?). I also encountered the situation that the window
19 decorations (symbols for closing, minimizing, etc.) are gone and
20 basically just about all KDE functionality is unavailable, i can only
21 see the topmost window (and i think that windows from different desktops
22 were mixed into one desktop too). In this situation i also got some log
23 entries in Strg+Alt+F12 saying smth. about HighMem, wich was full.

33 I will report on that shortly, after i was able to do those test. Though
34 i dont think it could be thermal problems since i had no problems at all
35 witch my second gentoo installation (gentoo-i386).
