I don't know if it's pingable (don't have a machine to test with), but the music player daemon (mpd) keeps running even though X is hung. I'll set up a machine to ssh. How do I backtrace? **The mouse doesn't work. Correction: The mouse DOES work; it just has no effect (that is I can move it, but clicking does nothing, nor does keyboard input, including VT switch) Also, it seems to be affecting screensavers other than the two I mentioned (GL ones of course). I think it may be a problem to glx on this machine generally, rather than only with the terminal thing; that was probably just coincidence. -- And that's my crabbing done for the day.
