RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:0299 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE xorg-x11-server bug fix and enhancement update 2013-02-20 20:35:47 UTC

Description Simo Sorce 2012-04-25 20:39:42 UTC 
In 6.2 you can press a key when you see the screen starting fading for an impending screenlock.
With the beta packages (1.10.6-1.el6.i686) this doesn't work, and you are left watching a quite slow fade until you are brought to a screensaver unlock screen.

The cause might be the fix for rhbz#748704
Comment 2 Tomas Pelka 2012-04-25 20:54:52 UTC 
I can remember that I saw this behavior as well, but not any more right now. Just FYI.
Comment 4 Adam Jackson 2012-04-26 14:33:50 UTC 
Simo tested a patch for me, and it appears to have worked.  Writing this down so I don't forget:

This is indeed caused by:

* Mon Mar 19 2012 Adam Jackson <ajax> 1.10.4-14
- xserver-1.10.4-sync-revert.patch: Revert an edge-case change in IDLETIME
  that appears to be more wrong than right. (#748704)

That patch reverts two hunks from Xext/sync.c.  Those hunks would be correct, if they swapped places.

I don't believe this bug to be a blocker, inability to interrupt the screensaver is merely cosmetic.
Comment 8 Adam Jackson 2012-09-12 16:33:05 UTC 
Upstream fix for this was:
