[Bug 393332] New: Screen gets black shortly every few seconds
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=393332 Summary: Screen gets black shortly every few seconds Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: roland.kletzing@materna.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- After updating opensuse 11 beta 3 to latest factory, in KDE my screen has a weird flickering problem. it gets black for sub-second duration every few seconds. that doesn`t happen if i don`t move the mouse, but as soon i move the mouse, this starts happening. the interval doesn`t seem to be regular, but random. i don`t have a clue why this happens. this doesen`t happen at the logon screen or in xcfe or gnome - so i assume it`s a kde issue. -- 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.

Seigo <aseigo@kde.org>), that the problem is related to screensaver. if i disable screensaver entirely, the problem immediately disappears. onfortunately, aaron seems to be too busy for a debug-session. (still no further reply) i`m curious why the problem goes away if i either kill krunner or disable screensaver from control panel. the screensaver timeout is set to 5 minutes, so what makes my screen flicker every 4 seconds if krunner is running or screensaver is set to active. does krunner schedule the screensaver ? -- 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.

I'm not using compositing effects either. It's distracting. I've noticed it while using the Euphoria screensaver. I haven't tested that much, it is rather annoying though.
