This occurs without regard to whether I lock the screen or not, or whether I leave the monitor turned on or off. No keypress, hotkey combo, or mouse wiggle has any apparent effect, and I have to hard reboot. I do not know what is causing it.Which graphics card do you have? And which driver? The symptoms sound much like what I had with Etch, Nvidia 8600, Nvidia's closed driver - exceptthatit happened immediately upon start of X. Often (but not always)accompaniedwith a kernel panic in the nvidia module. I will try with my card on lenny, as soon as I get the time. -H
