Yes! I get that too my Toshiba Portege 3110CT. Strangely, even if I switch to console and then suspend, X still spits. You have to give X the three-fingered salute and start it up again. I had exactly the same problem under Linux when I had an NEC Versa. Funnily enough, the NEC had a ATI VGA card, too. When I upgraded from RedHat 6.2 -> 7.0, the problem vanished. Which version of X are you using? It strikes me as odd that the problem went away in RedHat 7.0, where I'd have been running XFree86 4.x. I might try upgrading X and see what the results are. Can anyone comment on whether this is a known bug (and whether or not it has a fix)? - andrew -- Andrew J. Reid "Catapultam habeo.
