unfortunately by then there were no chance to get remote access -- wifi was already off and did not connect over wired when I plugged it in -- suspend light was blinking and I guess some services were already stopped by then... I had to reset it via sysrq. The last entry in the screen history was: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. XIChangeDeviceProperty (dev=dev@entry=0x7ff24ae17130, property=<optimized out>, type=type@entry=19, format=format@entry=8, mode=<optimized out>, mode@entry=0, len=len@entry=1, value=value@entry=0x7fff585294cf, sendevent=sendevent@entry=1) at ../../Xi/xiproperty.c:772 772 ../../Xi/xiproperty.c: No such file or directory. I guess I should just learn to master gdb script so it would dump the bt right upon segfault ... also since there is a new version now targetting wheezy I will upgrade first to not hunt for a possibly fixed issue cheers -- Yaroslav O.
