This could be due to a server reset which happens whenever the last client disconnects. A server reset is usually noticeable due to the server re-programming the video mode. You can avoid resets by starting the Xserver with the -noreset command line option or by keeping a client running in the background. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
