I am using downloaded version of Redhat 7.1 and Gnome as desktop

Thanks,
Prabir

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to gnome session 
2. keep idle for some time
3. automatically logs out
	

Additional info:

I have recntly installed Win4Lin 3.0 for RedHat. The Win4Lin modified
RedHat 2.4.2 kernel is running. This occurs with or without Win4lin 
session running. This may not be related to the above problem

Comment 1 Jim Meyer 2001-07-03 21:40:11 UTC
Other research I've done today has indicated that this may have to do with
xscreensaver (thus the idle time required for the problem to happen); reference
http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/support/2001-February/000409.html for
that info. Our cases have been intermittently repeatable but not reproducable at
will; as all our machines which exhibit this behavior are running in random
mode, I suspect it may narrow to a particular screensaver module or two, but
that's pure gut feeling.

Comment 2 Quentin Fennessy 2001-07-20 20:51:16 UTC
We have seen this problem 9 times on one Linux workstation recently.
The system is running RH 7.1 with linux 2.2.19.
Syslog reports this:

Jul 20 14:21:27 bills gnome-name-server[17074]: input condition is: 0x10, 
exiting

Ditto here. Every night the same thing:
Aug  9 01:40:11 pc-005196 gnome-name-server[1122]: input condition is: 0x11, exiting
Aug  9 01:40:11 pc-005196 gdm(pam_unix)[989]: session closed for user robr
Aug  9 01:40:11 pc-005196 gdm[989]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error -
Restarting :0

Comment 4 Need Real Name 2001-09-13 23:22:42 UTC
We are also getting this behavior on a dozen many RedHat 7.1 machines.
The error occurs sometimes several times a day, sometimes not for
weeks, sometimes when someone is at console, sometimes when there is
no console activity, with the screen saver set to random, and when the
screensaver is set to "No screensaver".  The only *possible* (but not 
definite) correlation I have seen is that the crashes often (but by 
no means always) occur when changing the window size of a Mozilla 
window by dragging its border.

Comment 6 Havoc Pennington 2002-03-04 20:43:09 UTC
The "input condition" message is just a symptom of losing your X server;
it simply means the file descriptor for gnome-name-server's X connection 
had an error, i.e. the X server crashed or was killed.

The messages like this may help debug the X issue: Jul  1 21:52:13 lexus kernel:
[drm:r128_do_wait_for_fifo] *ERROR* r128_do_wait_for_fifo failed!




Comment 7 Mike A. Harris 2002-05-30 03:25:53 UTC
Please upgrade to the latest XFree86 release 4.1.0-25 for RHL 7.1, as well
as the latest kernel.  Does this problem still occur?

Comment 8 Need Real Name 2002-05-31 18:49:01 UTC
I believe that our fix to this problem was upgrading the kernel to
2.4.9.  We have not seen this problem in a long time.  We have also
not seen this problem with RedHat 7.2.

Comment 9 Mike A. Harris 2002-06-01 09:49:47 UTC
Ah, indeed.. I missed that somehow.

[drm:r128_do_wait_for_fifo] *ERROR* r128_do_wait_for_fifo failed!

is a very very old error that came up, which was very long ago fixed, so
I assumed this bug was a new bug causing the same to occur.

Thanks for the update.  Closing bug as fixed in ERRATA kernel 2.4.9
