blue screen of death after logout

[Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak]

Hi all,

I have an HP DC7700 with an ADD2/DVI card driving a 1600x1200 NEC 
Multisync monitor, using the stock Fedora 9 intel driver.

Sometimes, after logging out of a Fedora 9 gnome session, the screen 
goes all blue. Bringing up a text session (Ctrl+F1) works OK, but X will 
not run properly after hitting Ctrl+F7 or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. Restarting 
the computer is the only solution for clearing the blue screen in X.

I haven't found any useful log messages. It is an erratic problem.

Has anyone else seen this? It's really annoying!

Swapping ADD2 cards made no difference. Swapping monitors made no 
difference. Swapping the computer made no difference. i386 vs x86_64 
made no difference.

Installing xorg* from rawhide didn't work at all, too raw I guess...
