I wonder if this is related to something that I am seeing.  On my Toshiba 
laptop running 1.6K I have a Targus port replicator plugged in with a PS/2 
keyboard.  The replicator is plugged into one USB on the laptop and a USP 
optical mouse is on the other.  Every so often the mouse (which has these 
spacey red lights all over it) goes dead.  The mouse stops working, today it 
happened in mid mouse move, and all the lights go out.  Rebooting seems to be 
the only way to get it started again although I haven't tried stopping and 
restarting xdm.  I have tried restarting my session though as well as 
unplugging, etc.

Although it is not plugged into the replicator, I don't remember seeing this 
problem until I started using it.  It may just be coincidence of course.
