I have an S3 968, and have been noticing that the console will freeze, but the
box still runs fine (hitting the console switching keys will cause beeps, and
nothing appears on the screen if other keys are hit -- If I'm in X, it
continues to work except that xconsole stops updating). Network logins
continue to work just fine.
