It happened again so I tried the ssh. I was able to log in and
everything seemed to be still running, including my usual GUI
apps (I
use KDE). Killing kdm, killing X and doing 'init 3' all had no
effect.
It's as if the monitor is physically disconnected (or the
video driver
is dead). I had to reboot. I'm going to report it to BZ.
I'm having similar problems, what is the Bugzilla number?
I've been waiting for it to happen again so I can back up my report with
actual data, including /var/log/messages, /var/log/Xorg.*, dmesg output,
lsmod output etc. However the bug doesn't want to collaborate and is now
in hiding. I've turned off power-saving and the screen-saver, and it
hasn't happened again, which may be a clue in itself, but if you can
provide the above data, create the BZ entry and report it here so others
can add comments.
