I double-clicked the display icon and what happened was my screen went blank and black and stayed on like that. I had to press power button to reboot. Now, what can be done to rectify this problem? Is it just another bug of the KDE4.1? To let you all know, apart from this problem, I can live without going to that 'display' section, but it would be great if someone can point me to the right direction to fix it. Thank you.
