Have one of the MDD Dual 867s with Apple Pro speakers, but when I go to turn the volume down using the keyboard, if it's pressed quite quickly, OSX decides to freeze for a few seconds and then goes back to the log-in screen.

Anything running was instantly quit.

This has been happening ever since I've put 10.2.3 on, i'm now on 10.2.6 and still have the same problems.

Anyone else know about this one?

That sounds like a window manager crash. Do you have any USB audio devices attached? Are you running the latest QuickTime. QT6 Public Beta was prone to crashing the window manager.

My guess is that you have a haxie or other program running that is interfering with the volume overlay that appears on screen when changing the volume on the keyboard. The conflict causes loginwindow or Window Manager process to exit suddenly, taking you back to the login screen.

Try using the menubar volume control as a workaround until you figure out where the conflict lies.
