Hi,
It happened again! Left xlock on when I left last night after turning my
monitor off. I came back today and could not see anything on the monitor
after turning it back on. I entered my passwd and hit enter, I could get a
glimpse of the desktop and it blacked out again. Everytime I moved the
mouse, the screen would flash into life and black out again.
I killed the server (ctrl_alt_bksp) and then all is well. Now when I
restart X, I cannot even see a glimpse. Exactly the same thing happened
yesterday when I mailed the list and it began to work once I rebooted and
restarted X. I tried different ttys and it all leaves me with a
blank-black screen on a 'startx'.
Whats going on? Has anyone heard/seen such behaviour? I spoke to the my
local linux-guru and he said that I was probably having a respawning
problem. What is respawning?
confounded,
-Karthik.
