Actually I dont think so, I get that problem occasionally too...system
drops out of X and corrupts my display (for lack of a better word) with
something that looks out of a dos 3.3 hex editor .Diagnostics show that
X times out and doesnt quit correctly.

I just wait for my console screensaver to kick in an that restores my
display. Its a pain I know but couldnt replicate it to as to figure out
the problem. My display card is a Gigabyte TNT2 Ultra 32meg running 3.3.6
(no need for 4.x as all its there for is netscape and pictures:/). My best
work around is wait for your screensaver to kick in (I could be imagining
things but suspect theres a shortcut do to that in console but forgot).

...And yes I know its annoying to was * seconds to use your terminal again
but better than a reboot I guess.=)

HTH,
PsyV
