16 Thanks. Seems I have this all the time in ~amd64. I didn't see it on
17 (mostly) stable. (Stable system, stable KDE, mostly stable apps,
18 ~amd64 xorg-server & drivers) Alt-Shift-F12 isn't doing anything for
19 me.

21 In a few hours I'll have a second (and stable) install on the same
22 system so I can boot into each and compare results. Until then at
23 least ~amd64 is working well enough that I can do a little work. I'll
24 report back when I know anything new.

26 Again, thanks for the ideas.

28 Cheers,
