I have had this happen once or twice... when you power back up you may
find your config file X wasted(happened to me once)... you may also
want to recompile the Xserver possibly too.


BTW what video card and options set for it? I noticed the older nvidia
drivers seemed more proned to going flaky than the newer ones have
been so far.
