Bug Description

Occurs not too often but often enough to make this extremely irritating, maybe once during every online session, maybe every few hours. I have counted and it seems to be gray for about 30 seconds with no input processed from keyboard during this time. When it returns, everything seems fine.

No way to systematically reproduce problem. I just have to go online and more often than not, it will occur - maybe in 30 minutes or a couple of hours, time lapse varies. 99% of the time, I have the AC adapter plugged in so I can't say if this occurs when battery is engaged. No other application except Firefox running.

I have changed power settings at the suggestion of system76 support personnel. Latest settings before this occurred just today were:
==================================
SETTINGS:

with laptop plugged in using ac adapter:

POWER MANAGEMENT PREFERENCES ("System" pulldown options)

ON AC POWER (tab)

put computer to sleep when inactive for 39 minutes

put display to sleep when inactive for 31 minutes

set display brightness to: dim display when idle - not checked

=========================================

Last occurrance was when I was actively browsing http://www.edmunds.com. Since I am mostly online and always using Firefox, I can't say for sure if it occurs when I am offline.

Seem to have had problem almost (can't be sure) from the beginning of ownership - purchased in December 2008.

When I do a "Help" from pull down menu of Firefox and click on "about", I get a blank Firefox screen so can't say what version. I'll try to update this report after I log out of this bug report application. It may be causing some kind of interference so I can't find out what version.

When I go to add/remove applications and look for "compiz", options for "compiz" are not checked. But when I do a "top", I see "compiz.real" in the list.

My system:

============================
Updated to add :
Firefox 3.0.12

Also, problem just occurred and I was able to open a terminal window. Next time this happens, I will post results of a top command DURING the problem, I hope. Stay tuned.

===============================
updated July 26, 2009 8:41 am

Was able to do a top command in a terminal session while screen was greyed out - results are below for "top -b -n3" command --
