m double u: It does let you type stuff, it just doesn't show you that it's taking your typing. It's like when you use OpenSSH from command-line and the thing you're connecting to asks for a password - you can type the password, but you will not see it, in x-term. Basically, most applications that I know of, when they give you a password prompt in X-Terminal, don't show what you're typing. You just have to hope you didn't double-enter some key, or didn't accidentally shift/fn it into a different character.

ossipena, some of your other posts around here are great, but you're just being a dick in that last one. Oh yes, it's totally obvious to every user who might otherwise be generally intelligent and able to use the N900's X-Term to use the device, that xorg happens to be a system critical process of the sort that would force a device reboot.

I can even understand saying "no **** sherlock", because of the way the poster you were replying to said their device rebooted, and because yes, if you know Linux, or even just what xorg is, you can probably guess it's important. If you've ran a command to view system processes enough, you can also notice xorg constantly there. But just saying, essentially, that the replied-to-poster was an idiot for not knowing something "obvious", is, frankly, asinine. If you feel the need to express that, go for it, it's more than understandable. But be decent enough to say WHY this happened and what xorg actually does.

You might know, I might know, but every other reader of this won't, and I guarantee you, this is NOT something that is easily discovered by simply searching for "xorg" in google. (On the other hand, he could have probably found it on this forum, but still, the search is hardly that great at turning up relevant results.)
