Suddenly blinks out. Then if I'm in X and I move the mouse then everywhere the mouse moves gets drawn (the usual redraw under cursor thing). Then if I select a window the title-bar gets re-drawn etc. I can drag a window around the screen to get it all displaying again, or I can switch VTs and back again. > > On Sat, 16 Dec 2000, Russell Coker wrote: > > Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2000 08:59:49 +0100 > > From: Russell Coker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: debian-laptop@lists.debian.org > > Subject: screen goes black > > Resent-From: debian-laptop@lists.debian.org > > > > I've recently started having a problem with my Thinkpad T20 where the > > screen goes black.
