Comment 26 for bug 1184451

Follow up to comment 25.

Sometimes the hang happens even while browsing within a Firefox window.

I saw the following in dmesg around the time of the problems. I tried Ctl-Alt-F1/Ctl-Alt-F7 and the graphics screen hung (black screen with moveable mouse cursor). I do recall seeing the login screen for a moment and the black screen right after I logged in again. I then rebooted the system.
