Thanks for that information. It happened again, awhile ago. I was using Gmail online, with Firefox, as I'm now doing, and the mouse just became inactive. I had to kill the power again, which is a horribly inelegant way to get out of that.
Lanny,
Have you tried to ssh in from another system? Sometimes that works even with the keyboard/mouse totally frozen. If so you could "telinit 3 / telinit 5" or reboot with a bit more elegance.
