To clarify: the problem occurred with the 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1 version; I reverted to the earlier version to eliminate it. I now find that I get the same problem with 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1 on another computer (desktop). This is with a different card and driver (obviously). I will submit a second bug report for this -- after the failure. What happens differs in the two machines, On the Thinkpad I get a blank but not a black screen. If I then do ctrl-alt-del it reboots. On the desktop nothing happens at all. Actually, it's even odder than that. If I do ctrl-alt-backspace immediately, as soon as X has started, it does close. But after lasting some apps it no longer does.
