Question Phoebe 3 and Inspiron 8000


Hello all, just installed RH Phoebe, I believe beta 3 on my Dell Inspiron 8000. Everything installed and appeared to be working great. However, I am getting one wierd problem: After a certain period of time, and I can't tell if this is after a certain period of inactivity or not, I lose all input. Mouse (touchpoint) wont work, keyboard has no effect, and my num lock and scroll lock lights sit and blink.

However, I can power cycle the laptop without a problem. In my experience, usually when it REALLY hangs, you have to unplug power and take the battery out to reboot the machine.

Anyone else see this? I'm cruising RH lists too, but was hoping maybe someone would have a pointer for me.
