Exact same symptoms here, on a gentoo system, 1.4ghz. I never used
edit more before so I don't know what it should do, but I figure
freezing up and ignoring keypresses isn't correct.
The weird background on the restart is very strange, usually when it
happens I can just hit "watch tv" and it fixes it. Except when I'm
recording something, then I just have to remember which buttons are
which to playback a recorded video to fix it.
