[desktop-discuss] bug in b50 sparc with pgx32 driver

I've noticed that when the screensaver activates on my pgx32 (running at
1280x1024, but I don't think this is terribly relevant), my screen goes
dark _and stays dark_.  I.e. it never comes back with a mouse move or
keyboard activity.

This can be seen just at dtlogin, with no other graphics activity.

Killing/restarting X seems to bring the display back.  (Killing X will
bring back a reasonable console.)

This is with b50.  I _believe_ that s10 06/06 did not suffer from this. 
I can reload and retest if necessary.

I don't have pgx32 source, so I can't help with debug much.

Can someone take a look at it?  Probably this should be filed as a bug,
if not already known.  If someone from the X group at Sun agrees, let me
know and I'll file one.
