From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; T312461) Description of problem: After some period of idle time, e.g. overnight, the virtual terminals all seem to stop displaying output. There is nothing on the physical monitor, including the normal X lockscreen display, and nothing is displayed when I switch to other virtual terminals. From a remote session I can start a new X server which seems to operate correctly on vt #8. I can also switch to existing vt's, login, and execute commands (without keyboard echo displayed), but without any monitor output. The only user process running is an X session (screen locked) on vt #1/#7, 2-6 are mingetty. The system has no other load on it. This problem did not occur while running 2.4.20-6. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.20-20.9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot system 2. startx (perhaps optional?) 3. wait 12+ hours Actual Results: no output from virtual terminals is displayed on physical monitor Additional info:
