Has to be a kernel issue if a non-root app can lock the system. you're not running the nvidia binary only kernel drivers are you ? i'm running the nvidia drivers which i've compiled specifically for the current kernel. i don't use their prepackaged binaries. it turns out this was a symptom of the sound driver being messed up. there was no cure besides installing a newer kernel. i believe the defective sound support was in 2.4.9-34, an errata kernel. other IM apps were behaving the same way. sorry i didn't figure this out sooner and also that i lost track of the bug report for a bit. |
