More info: disabling the screensaver in xscreensaver-demo didn't help. Here are some salient bits from my X config. Nothing in this has changed in a while. Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "GDM-5510" HorizSync 30.0 - 130.0 VertRefresh 48.0 - 170.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" # no known options #BusID Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)" Driver "nv" VendorName "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)" BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768 " "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection I commented out the load "dri" and "dpms" option lines and this seems to make the problem go away...at least, I can't reproduce it immediately with the "xset -dpms" like I used to. I determined that the commenting of the "dpms" option was sufficient. Resetting the Xserver does clear the problem, but of course then I lose my session and any unsaved work. Using the links to create an attachment, could you please post your full config and log files? (/etc/X11/XF86Config & /var/log/XFree86.0.log) Created attachment 90323 [details]
As requested, the config
I've commented out the offending dpms line
Created attachment 90324 [details]
xfree log as requested
Again, this is now that the system works...if you want the log from when it
goes kablooie let me know
