Every once in a while (often, but not always, over the weekend) my
keyboard and screen "dies". Usually, I will arrive at my office to find
the screen blank, and the keyboard unresponsive (no reaction to num-lock
etc.). The machine doesn't crash, however; I can ssh to it from another
machine, but I am unable to find a process to kill to fix the problem
(I tried just killing X, an even that did not help). So far, I've had to
simply shut down & reboot every time this happens. This morning offered
a variation - instead of a black screen, the "star wars writing"
Xscreensaver was displayed (but stalled).
I regularily update "everything" via the RHN update agent, so I should
be pretty much up-to-date. To the best of my knowledge, I've turned off
any and all power-save options in the BIOS.
Is this an obscure hardware bug, or has anyone experienced anything similar?
