Maarten, This actually makes lots of sense. I had it happen again last night, and after checking logs, it was indeed Xorg losing control of direct rendering. I can move the mouse around the black screen, and watch the cursor change as it goes over links, and various other things, and I can still type in whatever window was active.... I just can't see any of it. Even dropping to TTY1, the mouse cursor is still visible, and keystrokes still get dumped to the active window, even though I dropped to another tty. Also I am on Intel hardware.
