This morning I left for work with it sitting with root logged in and
the desktop displayed in all its glory. I meant to continue tweaking
when I got home, perhaps editing grub.conf etc.

But now the screen has gone totally black! If I move the mouse around
the mouse pointer is displayed until I stop movement, when it
disappears again. Same if I use the keuboard (shift key) then the
mouse pointer appears out of the black for a fraction of a second.

I guess some screen saver has started, but it should not keep on
running when I use the mouse, really....

Is there a key combination that can wake it up from the screen saver
blackness???
