From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Description of problem: As a matter of fact, I am not sure if this bug is due to a bug in xorg, X or KDE. But anyway ... When choosing KDE as the login session, the KDE screen appears and the process starts. At around 40%, my laptop shut itself down and stop responding. A hard reboot is the only way out. Since the suspend LED blinks, I presume it is an erroneous attempt to go to suspend. Indeed with acpi=off in the kernel command line parameters, the problem disappear. With GNOME i had no problems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-libs-6.7.0-0.5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add acpi=on on kernel parameters 2. login a KDE session Actual Results: blank screen Expected Results: KDE Additional info: HW: HP compaq nx 9000
This sounds like a kernel/ACPI problem.
still a problem with the latest updates ?
no problem with FC3
