Thus, severity major. To reproduce: 1-use gfxchip dependent for best performance on mga driver 2-set DefaultDepth 16 in xorg.conf's 'Section "Screen"' 3a-start KDM3; login to a KDE3 session, or 3b-startx a KDE3 session Actual behavior: 1-computer turns off as if power supply disconnected as or right after login sound and desktop painting complete 2-dirty filesystems need recovery on reboot Expected behavior: 1-computer stays on 2-KDE3 is usable 3-filesystems stay clean Notes: 1-tested using G400 rev 04 AGP on 1.13GHz Pentium 3 2-happens in openSUSE 13.1 and openSUSE 13.2 (both upgrades originally from 13.1M1) with repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_FactoryOR13.1 and repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_FactoryOR13.1 repos enabled 3-does not happen in: openSUSE 12.3 KDE3 (same host gx150) openSUSE 12.2 KDE3 (same host gx150) Fedora 21 KDE 4.11.x (same host gx150) openSUSE 13.1 and 13.2 with DefaultDepth unset or set to 24 (same host gx150) openSUSE 13.1 and 13.2 with Intel or Radeon gfxchip (different hosts) 4-Compositing is disabled globally (for all test systems) via xorg.con* option 5-06 June y2logs from 13.1M1 https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=543090 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

3-does not happen in:...Fedora 21 KDE 4.11.x (same host gx150) (In reply to comment #1) Try another desktop so to see if it is kde3-related
Already did KDE4 on F21 (kernel PAE 3.13.0-0.rc4, server 1.14.99.902, xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.6.2-11), leading me to believe KDE4 on 13.2 (server 1.14.99.905, xf86-video-mga-1.6.3-31.6) would behave the same. I don't install other DEs on test systems on which I install KDE3. Space allocated to test partitions is limited. That said, booted to today's Head 3.13.0-rc3-7 kernel-default I opened an IceWM session, then an Xterm, from which mozilla.org's 32 bit Firefox 26 binary, and while otherwise idle, the computer turned off within a minute or so of FF finishing painting its restored single tab previous session. I booted back into F21 with IceWM but no crash from same xterm -> Firefox sequence. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please try the openSUSE systems with another desktop. Try TWM session if you have no space.
Comment 2 told I IceWM crashed too. Shouldn't that be enough confirmation that this is not a KDE3 problem? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
