Hi all!

I have just received my new TP 600 and the joy was great! Unfourtately
my cup was smolered. X frequently hangs and the whole system has been
quite shaky. =(

Does any one else experience the same problems?

Specifically, what do you do, when X hangs, since the keyboard goes the
way of the dodo, there seems to be nothing to do but to pull the cord,
which as we all know is nooo good. One thing would be to telnet into the
machine but beeing a portable, it often does not have a network
connected
to it... is there any hardware thingy you can build to have some reboot
demon to poll or something, or can you hardcode Ctrl-Alt-Del into the
kernel
to mean reboot even if X crashes?

Thankful for help on my path to enlightment!

Regards
-Leif Jonsson
