The computer does not respond on anything anymore. The OS has not died. I can login (SSH) and force a shutdown -r now, but this is annoying. What happens is that somehow my X (xorg-server-6.8.2_4) sneds a frequency to my monitor which is out of range (monitor states: 105K / 234 Hz). I wonder what can be the reason of thsi wrong freq. I have used DCC in xorg.conf and also commented it out. It has happened in both occasions. I also am pretty sure it ONLY happened when I was surfing the net with mozilla (not sure of the relevance here). I like to get rid of this issue asap. Or at leat want some info how to deal with it. so, who can help me? I have a NVidia GForce 6600GT which is driven by the nv driver.
