[ltp] please help: redhat 7.1 on TP 600X

[Ted Lin]

In my case, I stopped running KDE applications. I really don't like that 
option, but scrolling a tree view control  locks it up every time. My cpu 
is running full speed (unfortunately for me, that didn't seem to be the 
problem). My pointer continues to be responsive but the system is 
completely locked, requiring a power cycle.

I was willing to live with this, but now I've discovered that Emacs (not 
Xemacs, which is fine) will lock up my system when I drag my mouse across 
the cascading menus.

I mention this in the hopes that someone far knowledgeable than myself gain 
additional insight from this info and can suggest a solution.

Thanks,

-ted

RH 7.1, TP 600x.
