I understand that; but it has only occurred in Firefox, since 2.0 arrived, and upon loading content, so it's my only common case. I guess I'll just have to wait and see if it happens at some other time... of course, it could also be that Firefox or some component it uses triggers an X or video driver bug, or that it is plain coincidence (hardware).
I had no high hopes for this being a known or easily verifiable bug, but at least there is one if more people encounter something similar. -- Hard freezes of whole system with Firefox 2.0 beta1 https://launchpad.net/bugs/56270 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
