Quick afterthought on the freezing. Whats your laptops specs and what drivers are you using? There seems to be a long list of complaints with the Nvidia 177 drivers. That could be your freezing problem.

Side note: I had to add the i8042.noumx=1 setting to my GRUB bootloader so the mousepad functioned correctly in Ubuntu 8.04 but have no idea what all it did.
Open Metaverse Viewer gives me login issues because of something time related.
I experimented with letting my normal LL viewer run without my input... It never seized up or killed the connection until I decided to move around and use it, I think it's mocking me...

AckSilly omvviewer!
Well, you have an Nvidia, what driver are you using? If it is 177 you may need to change to either the newer one or older one (both are in the repos).

Took some doing since hardware drivers doesn't tell me anymore, but Nvidia X Server Settings tool said it's using the 169.2 driver. The hardware tools says 169.2 IS the newer one...Originally Posted by Naiki Muliaina

Well the latest copy of GreenLife Emerald fixed this and 9.04 possibly squashed this bug flatter than soda that was open for a month. If it resurfaces I'll gather the new information on it.
