Re: screensaver on my tosh...

[Daniel Hill]

sounds like it's gone in to suspend and doesn't come out, I have the 
same problem with the fglrx Proprietary ATI drivers
first test suspend if it happens again you mite have to disable suspend 
in ubuntu and/or BIOS or find what's making it crash
I've just upgraded my old Tosh lappie to Ubuntu HH. After leaving it to it's own devices for a while, it looks like the screensaver ( or some other kind of power management ) has kicked in, and the screen is blank. 

And is obstinately staying that way, no matter what I do. If I press the power 
button, I'm rewarded by a flash of disk activity, but that's as far as it goes! 
Any idea how to bring it back to life, other than holding the power button in 
for 5 seconds to crash it???
Cheers,

Steve
