Every now and then when I am in Mozilla the screen blacks out. I am using SuSE 8.2 and the Mozilla version is 1.2.1. The screen seems to have no problems otherwise.

1. Do you have any idea why? I have added a log showing what happens at the bottom.

2. When this happens, is there anything I can do to get back the screen or to get into the Konsole so that I can shut down or kill processes properly? So far the only thing I have been able to do is to switch off the power and re-boot!!!!


Here is the log showing where it happened twice consecutively:

I hope this helps and someone can help me sort this out.
