I'm having a problem with F18 (updated from F17 using fedup and distro-sync). The system configuration is:
Intel i915 onboard chipset Hardwired keyboard and mouse Flatron W2243S monitor F18 x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.13.1-4.fc18.x86_64 KDE 4.9.5-2.fc18.x86_64 qt-4.8.4-6.fc18.x86_64 Mesa 9.0.1-3.fc18.x86_64
The problem appears after a long period of inactivity (but only some of the time). I have the screensaver turned off and power management set to dim the monitor but not power it down. The screen is lit but keyboard and mouse are unresponsive, including Ctrl-Alt-Fn combinations. The system is not hung as I can SSH in and everything seems to be working, but attempts to use systemctl start runlevel3.target (or ... 5.target) have no effect. The only option appears to be rebooting.
Anyone else seen this?

I just came back to my f18 system which has been idle all night, and it is talking now with no problems.
As I said, it's only some of the time. I've just returned after leaving it all night and had no problems. That makes it hard to reproduce and debug.

I haven't tried switching users, but I'll test it and report on the BZ page if I get the problem.
I've also had a strange issue a couple of times where the mouse cursor disappears. The mouse itself is still active (I can highlight links on web pages etc., right-click to get a menu, etc.), but then a dialogue pops up in the top left corner telling me that a monitor has been disconnected and asking if I want to reconfigure. However this may be unrelated to the other problem, it's hard to tell.
