From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5 Description of problem: After the computer (Dell Precision 610 with Riva 128 graphics adapter w/ 4 MB RAM) is restored from power save mode (no screensaver, BIOS power management disabled), the picture is distorted (most of the inital picture is replaced by random noise; Redhat 8 with identical settings of XF86config still works fine on the same machine). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): XFree86-4.3.0-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start X (as window manager, KDE and Gnome have been tested) 2.Wait for powersave 3.Wake-up computer and watch screen Actual Results: Screen is distorted from the inital state it had before power save sets in. After a "swipe" over the screen with an open window or a refresh of the window manager, everything is back to normal. Additional info: There was a bug reported for FreeBSD that caused Xfree86 to crash completely with Riva 128 graphics adapters. This bug was treated as bugzilla bug #71 by the Xfree86 team, and a patch was released for bugfix release 4.3.0.1.
Ok, I just checked, and that fix isn't in my rawhide packages yet.
