I recently added a Linux system to that switch. I have had some instance where it locks up in X (KDE specifically). Usually the keyboard is alive enough to recognize Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. When the X-server restarts full keyboard and mouse control are restored. May not help in your situation if its a hard lockup. -- Jack Ungerleider jack at jacku.com
