It happened again so I tried the ssh. I was able to log in and
everything seemed to be still running, including my usual GUI apps (I
use KDE). Killing kdm, killing X and doing 'init 3' all had no effect.
It's as if the monitor is physically disconnected (or the video driver
is dead). I had to reboot. I'm going to report it to BZ.
