Description of problem: I have two F8 installs with different hardware. Both are using nvidia proprietary drivers and gkrellm crashes regularly after several days of running. This is the error I see when running it from a terminal: gkrellm: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gkrellm-2.3.0-4.fc8 How reproducible: Run gkrellm for several days to a week. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run gkrellm for at least a week 2. It will crash showing the error listed. 3. gkrellm: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. Actual results: gkrellm: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. Expected results: gkrellm will run forever

I'll see if I can reproduce this, I'll get back to you in about a week.
Just to add some data to this here is an example of the time I'm talking about: $ time gkrellm gkrellm: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. real 4007m43.821s user 5m50.058s sys 2m49.297s
I am still getting this bug. The time it takes for it to crash seems to be showing a pattern. $ time gkrellm gkrellm: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. real 3760m57.237s user 22m14.278s sys 18m38.334s [john@cam ~]$ time gkrellm gkrellm: Fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server :0.0. real 3797m20.885s user 23m30.378s sys 17m47.662s [john@cam ~]$ time gkrellm gkrellm: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. real 3526m19.518s user 22m40.045s sys 16m53.078s
Okay, So I've been trying to reproduce this, I've had gkrellm running for 4 days (then I rebooted), then again for 5 days (then I rebooted) and now for 10 days and going strong. So ... I'm going the blame the blob (the nvidea one), and close this as works for me. You could try filing a bug with nvidea.
