Package: netsurf-linuxfb
Version: 2.1-1
Severity: important

When I ran "netsurf google.com" as root on vt2, the screen went
completely black.  I managed to (blindly) switch to vt3, log in as
root, and run "halt" to reboot my system.  I didn't think to try
"killall netsurf" until it was too late.

I am running an Eee PC 701.  It's graphics card reports itself as

    Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 
04)

I am using uvesafb, v86d and 910resolution to run at the native,
non-VESA resoltion of 800x480.  Perhaps linuxfb doesn't understand
this.

I *can* successfully run gtk-directfb applications on this system.
This includes netsurf itself -- I rolled a private package of (IIRC)
netsurf 2.0 to use gtk-directfb instead of gtk-x11, and it worked
fine.  Oh, and fbi and fbgrab (other directfb apps) also work fine.

Xorg was not running at any time during the above events.
