I read all of those comments, but none of them seemed to apply to this
problem on a Sharp notebook (PC-WA70L). However, it hasn't happened
recently, so maybe it was repaired in some of the recent patches. It was
never very common, though the last few times I saw it, it seemed
slightly different. The machine was still completely dead and had to be
powered down, but the early times the final image was a completely white
screen, while the last few times it was a white screen with black
pinstripes.

After the first pinstripe display, I switched to the non-restricted
video driver, but that didn't help, and it crashed a couple more times
after that, still with the pinstripe display. I was hoping to get some
guidance about where to search in the logs for revealing information,
but I couldn't find any on my own at the time, and it's almost surely
too late now, unless the logs go back a long ways and you can tell me
about something very specific to look for.

Hopefully that problem has gone away. It was the most serious new glitch
of Gutsy. There are still some other glitches here, but stuff I can live
with, though overall the Gutsy experience has been another small step
down...
