[Bug 443098] New: White Screen of Death (desktop effects)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443098 Summary: White Screen of Death (desktop effects) Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta4 Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: gp@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Product Management Created an attachment (id=250840) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=250840) hwinfo On my test machine (hwinfo attache), I was running the desktop effects control panel and think (quite sure) that when I activated desktop effects my screen went white. I still have a cursor, but everything else is completely white. This does not happen when I log into a KDE session on the same machine, and when killing the X server and starting a new GNOME session I get back to the white screen. I assume this must be a driver problem of sorts, but the user interaction leaves quite some room for improvement as well: if this is a risky operation it would be good to warn the user and switch back to normal mode if the user does not indicate success by confirming a dialog that pops up after the switch. Also, there was (and is, of course) no information whatsoever how to get back to any reasonable state. -- 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.
