Hi group,

That's (S)creen (O)f (D)eath. I thought I had fixed this problem on my
eee. I would get these SODs, black usually, but sometimes white and
once green while connected to the web(don't know if that's
significant). At first I thought it was the browser, so I tried
firefox-3.0, firefox-3.5, opera-10. Same story, so I replaced xfce4
with fluxbox, no screen savers, no icons, widgets, just the default
bar at the bottom of the screen and there was no problem for several
days until this morning the desktop went totally black and wouldn't
respond to mouse or keyboard.

 I did #tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log immediately from a spare console but
there was no sign of trouble.

I can get back to the start console, ctl-c and run startx again but
the desktop remains black. To get back the desktop I have to reboot.

Anybody guess what's happening here?

Maxim
