Wow....

My good workstation has a SBLive soundcard and a Hauppague (sp?)
WinTV card.  I got ALSA and Video4Linux basically working, but
I was able to completely lock up my system by playing around 
with xawtv.  My v4l may not have been set up correctly.  What 
suprised me was that when the system locked, I couldn't even 
telnet in from another machine on my network.  Is there any 
way to interrupt what's going on on the workstation if the 
keyboard *and* the network is locked?  I had to do a hard 
reset, which is mildly annoying.  I know the drivers aren't quite
golden yet, but I was suprised that it basically killed my 
machine.

I think I'll try XFree86 4.0 next...
