[ltp] display, cursor, keyboard hang, T40, RH9

[otisg]

Hello,

I am a new user of Linux on a TP.  I've been using Linux on
desktop for years.

I have RedHat 9.0 installed on a T40 ThinkPad.
I noticed that my xterm (gnome-terminal) likes to freeze/hang
sometimes.  This tends to happen when I'm doing things like
copying large files over the network using scp, or when I am
unpacking some large archive.

The symptoms are that my cursor disapears for a few seconds, and
my keyboard become completely unresponsive for a few seconds.

Is this a normal thing?
Does this happen when the machine is in some kind of a sleeping
mode?

Thanks,
Otis
