DSoD : Diagonal Screen of Death

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



	On Fedora 17 and 18 I sometimes get a display like nothing else I 
know. It's made up of short horizontal lines, some in color, arranged 
into long diagonals that cover the screen, with about the angle of a 
backslash. The little lines in each group are parallel, and there's 
always a little space between every group and the next. 

	It comes up suddenly, on a key press or a mouse click.

	Once it comes up, it owns the machine -- nothing the mouse or 
keyboard can do (that I know of, anyway) has any effect, and I have to 
hit the reset button.

	I have yet to discover any correlation with any user action : 
afaict, some power of darkness arms the trigger, apparently randomly, and 
the next thing I do brings on the crash.

	Has anyone else seen this? Diagnosed it? Found any prevention or 
cure??
