Description Need Real Name 2001-11-19 19:36:49 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3 i686)

Description of problem:
System has hung (no keyboard or network response, screen frozen) ~dozen
times
with Greynetic screensaver running.  Never hangs otherwise.  Greynetic is
initiated
by random screensaver.  Does not hang immediately when
screensaver/greynetic
started interactively.  Possibly after running for some time?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.25-4

How reproducible:
Couldn't Reproduce


Additional info:

Have had hangs with several distinct kernels (ie, 2.2.x and 2.4.x, default
and custom
configs).

Workaround: remove Greynetic screensaver or select another, static
screensaver.

This is generally a problem with the X driver or the kernel.

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2002-11-01 06:53:00 UTC

There have been many fixes in X since this was reported.  Can you
please let me know if you still encounter this in Red Hat Linux 8.0,
and if so, please attach your X server log and config file.

Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2002-11-07 12:48:23 UTC

Bug #73827 is related.  Not sure if it is a dupe or not, so I'm setting it
as a block.

Please indicate if this is a problem still or not. And attach your X server
log and config file.  I need this information in order to know what hardware
is being used, and to see if there is any useful information for troubleshooting
if I do need to debug anything.

Comment 4 Mike A. Harris 2002-12-19 09:29:34 UTC

Closing bug due to lack of response/feedback and lack of information.
If problem persists, feel free to reopen and supply updated information
as requested above.
