ok, it happened in X, and happened several times. I suspect it happens |
| 2 |
only when the screen is supposed to go to standby, but it's only |
| 3 |
suspicion, not a fact. I've changed the kernel settings lately, |
| 4 |
without installing the new kernel yet, and I'm about to do that now, |
| 5 |
with magic SysReq, just in case. |
| 6 |
I'm not sure if the system is really ideal, or just that application |
| 7 |
are unresponsive. |

While writing this mail I've managed to recreate the symptoms by |
| 9 |
pressing ctrl+alt+F1. I have an intel video card, and remember having |
| 10 |
some problems with it. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
What log should I check? I never tried to track down this kind of |
| 13 |
error in the past. |
