I have installed 8.04 LTS on 3 different computers:
2 Dells w/512MB ram
1 homebuilt w/1.5GB ram

and all three have experienced varying episodes of the screen greying/graying out at irregular times with varying intervals before ops returning to normal.

I used 6.06 LTS for two years because of the LTS, and waited for several months before upgrading to the newer/better 8.04 (clean installs not upgrades) and am dismayed by this problem as one computer is used daily by my 86 year old Mom, 1000+ miles away. She was very happy with 6.06 as "nothing ever goes wrong with this," but the greying out is unnerving her now (me too!).

As this is happening on three quite different computers of mine; and as this is a LTS version, I am vexed why the Ubuntu team hasn't fixed this by now - there are a multitude of threads complaining of this problem - where is Ubuntu on this?
