Well, how long was Adam in paradise...? :-)

I'm back to the first error again; freeze-up and events are being 
generated to /dev/input/event2

I can't find anything in the logs that are relevant to the crash itself.
However, I think I remember I saw something at bootup about not being 
able to find usb** hotplugs or something. I can't find that in dmesg, 
though, so I guess it wasn't important...? 

What may be of some importance is that I can't find any evidence that 
input.agent has been run. 

There's a usb.agent which came with the Debian hotplug package, and that 
seems to be called,  this is from user.log:

As I said, if I just pulled the tangtop from the USB port, it would be 
redetected, but this didn't help here... 

Best,
