[gentoo-user] KDE and HARD lock ups.

[Dale]

Hi,

Has anyone else had any hard lock ups in KDE?   I'm on kde 4.6.4 which 
was released about a month ago.  For those not in the know, I'm on amd64 
and use kde-meta so it is has the kitchen sink installed here.

What mine does:  It sort of varies but usually when I login, it may last 
a couple minutes, usually less, then the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock LED's 
blink.  The Num Lock key is off if that means anything.  I tried the 
SysReq keys but it doesn't do anything at all.  According to the 
messages at the next boot, it doesn't sync or umount either.  The mouse 
pointer no longer moves either.  At this point, I hit the reset button 
which causes steam to come out my ears.  I HATE using that button.

I'm fairly sure this is not hardware.  Right now, I am in Fluxbox and it 
works fine.  I also booted to single user and compiled a bunch of stuff 
and also tried a different kernel too.  I think if it was hardware, it 
would have had some kind of hick-up during the compile.  I did check 
temps and all is nice and cool, very cool since my A/C is on full 
blast.  I think the oven is outside on full blast instead of in the 
kitchen.  lol  It's HOT here, steamy hot.

I checked messages and the only thing I saw was about a bad option for 
hp-systray.  Surely that wouldn't cause a crash?  I'm going to unmerge 
and test it tho, just to be sure.

Anyone run into something like this?  Ideas?

Thanks much.

Dale
