Could you be a little more specific, please? If I'm reading your above
sentence correctly, it would seem that you're telling me that when my
system is locked up and moving my mouse doesn't get the monitor to come out
of power-saving mode like it usually does, that I should press
cntrl+alt+PrintScrn to have it do something. Is that correct? If so, then
I'm having a bit of trouble understanding how pressing those keys will do
anything on a hung system, but I'm willing to give it a try the next time
my system seizes up.
BTW, I forgot to mention in my earlier message that none of the logs show
anything at all at the time of the system hang. Nothing in
/var/log/kernel/{anything}, nothing in /var/log/messages, nothing in any
other log I try to look in. Right after the reboot, I'll go straight into
the various log files and start scrolling back through the boot-up messages
until I get to the last entries (identified by the jump in the timestamps)
in those logs. Not a peep.
