Description of problem: Just upgraded to the newest packages to hit the development release 20040309. With gnome and xscreensaver, whenever xscreensaver starts due to inactivity, my gnome session is killed sending me to the log in screen Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xscreensaver-4.14-3 gnome-desktop-2.5.90-1.1 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. upgrade to current development packages 2. log in as user 3. Let screensaver activate due to inactivity Actual results: automatic log off. Expected results: Should bring up the screensaver not kick me out Additional info:
I found that this problem is directly related to GLX not loading on xstart Any application that requries GLX will cause the user to be logged out and x will reset. XFree86-4.3.0-63 This bug only started to occur after updated to the latest development packages.
I'd like to ask a few questions which will be helpful in determining the cause of the problem. - What OS release were you using prior to updating? - What version-release of XFree86 were you using prior to updating? - Are you using a Red Hat supplied kernel, or a custom built one? Also, can you please attach the following files as uncompressed file attachments: - X server log - X server config file - /var/log/messages The output of "lspci -vvn" and "lsmod" from while X is running would also be useful. Thanks in advance.
For some reason rebuilding the drivers fixed the problem. I forgot to exclude kernel updates through yum and the glx module never got rebuilt to the new kernel source. My bad, I should've thought of this before posting. I owe you a beer.
