Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
This happened on both an Acer Aspire 1691WLM laptop (single boot Ubuntu 6.06LTS) and also my Dell4700 (single boot Ubuntu 6.06LTS) recently.
I beleive it only started happening after I downloaded the latest kernel first week in June.
The computers were left running Open Office each time.
On the Acer the screen was blank and stayed blank and unresponsive. The computer had to be crashed and restarted. It operated normally after that.
On the Dell I moved the curser as the screen was going dark and the image came back but the computer was unresponsive and I had to crash that. The computer appears to function properly now.
I see that this is a fairly common bug and this is not a new bug report.
Hi Keith,
Could you give the ID numbers of bugs that report these same issues? I'll check them out.
