With the 1.20 viewer, occasionally I go blind. I can't see anything inworld, all is black. I have to relog to fix it. Moving or teleporting doesn't help.
I don't have a supported graphics card. Does this happen for anyone with a supported graphics card? If so, please create a Jira entry for it!

What you are probably experiencing with the RC clients is GC memory leaks or corruption of the GC runtime libraries. From my experiences and tests, the RC client has some way to go to address this situation. I still find the 1.19 client to be the most stable.
An unsupported card probably has older OpenGL version drivers which are incompatible with the way the client renders the VR environment.
The SL type clients will become of age, when they become a pluggin to your normal internet browser, letting the browser engine decide what resources you have to render the VR world. Much like installing a media pluggin, or using a OS media version to render, rather than having to write a bespoked API interface, as is currently the case. Porbably the biggest inhibitor would be, licensing of the rendering plugins. Silverlight from Microsoft goes someway to overcome that, based on the .NET Framework environment, which extends the browers functionality.

This has happened to me a couple of times, and the fix seems to be to minimise SL, click on or open something else, and then click on SL again. I don't know why tht should work, but it does appear to.

Cali The reason that works is simple, by minimising the client window, that releases the graphics and system ram back to the OS (Operating System) freeing up the memory map registers. Due to memory leaks (memory corruption due to overlapping of the memory map registeries), this causes cascade failure of the registers and effectly the OS looses the ability to use/control, available ram.
