Thanks Ray! I just solved the problem.

The bloke in the computer shop had the System Share Memory Size in the BIOS
set to 8. When I now reset it to the original 32 everything is working again
fine. I saw him fumbling around the BIOS, however he was so fast that I could
not follow.
I got the idea after your hint above when I noticed that the swap memory was
not really used after having opened in twm via xterm applications like
abiword, gnumeric, konqueror, gkrellm simultaneously, then trying to open
other applications I would get segmentation fault. After closing abiword,
gnumeric, etc they could not be reopened, segmentation fault. Even rebooting
would not completely finish and end with segmentation fault.

That should naturally read adapter.
It plugs on one end into the USB socket of the mobo and has 2 sockets on the
other end, one for kb and one for mouse.
