I can verify that it is card independant. The machine it mainly effects
me on has an S3 Virge card in it, but it has happened to other machines
I have - and all of them hae different video cards.

I don't own an AGP video card (niether does work) so it's not that :)

Normally it happens at night while I am not infront of the machine, I
turn the monitor back on in the morning to find it has a blank display
and is switching vt's but not displaying anything (judicious use of num
lock is a good test). Generally the solution is a reboot, but I do it
from another machine so i can do it safely. It is a little annoying
though.
