Me too. However, this has always happened, even with 2.0.x kernels.
It didn't happened with the original X that came with Slackware96, but
when I upgraded X then it always started freezing the console for a while

Related? i think think so. Kernel problem? I don't think that either. But
I could be wrong. In any case, advices are appreciated.
