I tried a new mouse, just in case. This fixed the problem with the lock up. I'm not sure if it was a faulty mouse, the new mouse was a wheel mouse which may have required a new driver.

I still have a problem with evolution 1.4. At times, the client locks up. IF I respond YES to the pop-up telling me that evolution is not responding, the process is killed but it also kills the gnome panel. Any application I have running is still usable but I can't start a new one.
Also I noticed that the standard RH9 window manager has been replaced by a standard gnome window manager - no idea how this happened.
I'm going to install RH9 from scratch rather than as an upgrade to RH7.3 and see if this helps.

hi atlantis

as like your problem i had that problem. the reason of the problem also same: cd rom.
my suggesion is don't edit fstab instead stop autofs service from hat menu or start menu>System Settings>Server Setting>Services..
there you find autofs, untick and stop the service then click Save Setting from file then quit
now you may not encounter that problem anymore

Hello,

This what I had:
Mouse stoped after about 3 seconds I moved it.
When I switched to text console and back it worked for another 3 seconds.

I figured maybe bios settings are wrong ?

I guessed right - try to select "use usb mouse" to disabled.

Cheers,
Mike
