[wplug] linux on a laptop

[Bob Schmertz]

I assume you're talking about a graphical login here... Do you know if
it's a KDE login (kdm) or a GNOME login (gdm)?  Either way, there should
be a Session menu on the menu bar.  You can select "failsafe" from that
menu; that way you should be able to log in without locking up.  In the
window that should be displayed, type "twm &" to get a no-frills window
manager so that you can do some work until you get this issue worked
out.
