Oh, I thought I was the only one. I also had a single hang+flashing
 Caps & Scroll Lock with -rc5, but haven't had one since.

I had VMWare Player modules loaded at the time though, and I
 recently rebuilt them with the any-any-patch-113 (earlier versions
 would not build with very recent kernels).

-rc4-git2 and -git3 never hung even with VMWare modules loaded.

So I disabled the autoload of VMWare stuff. The problem has not
 reproduced so far. My system is a Dell D610, running updated
 Fedora 7, with Intel 915GM video chipset.
