Assuming it was not a locked screen saver asking for your password (and from what you have said it isn't), then this certainly *isn't* normal behaviour and it is a problem. I would agree with others who think it may be a crashing screensaver taking down the X Windows system. I have had this in the past when I have had a random selection of screen savers. I would disable screensavers and see if the problem goes away. If it does, you can then activate them one at a time until it appears. In my experience the problem is worse with 3gl cards and proprietary drivers. Steve -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
