Testing with the "experimental" Mesa 7.8 on i845, I have similar
results. After VT switching a few times to and from text/graphics mode,
the screen goes black and you can't even get back to the text console.
The monitor itself shows loss of input signal, so intel is completely
stuffed.
The system is still up and I can ssh into it and see X and all X apps
still happily running as if there's nothing wrong. There is absolutely
nothing in /var/log/messages, Xorg.0.log or even in the console
capture. Ugghh! No core No cookie.
