A friend had a problem similar to this, it turned out to be acpi (or |
| 16 |
apm?) and his gnome battery applet. Every time the battery applet |
| 17 |
polled for battery level, the system froze for 1-2 seconds. |

So, you could try running a fail safe X session (no extras) and see if |
| 20 |
it still happens. If so, try something from the command line (no X) and |
| 21 |
see if it still happens... |
