crash of X Server
Hi, I installed Suse 7.3 on a powerbook wallstreet. It uses the accelerated ati driver for X. If I leave it unattended for a while, the screensaver comes up and the mouse and keyboard get freezed. I cannot enter again my session. Very frustrating. This happens only after a long while, making me think that there is a bad interaction between screensaver/ati driver/screen sleep. Does anybody have a clue ?

There is a bug in the ADB driver for mouse and keyboard, it doesnt respond anymore after a while or when you put it to sleep. Are you sure the computer crashes? It could be that the screensaver doesnt work properly with the accel functions, can you give more infos about your setup? Does it crash when you use the driver 'fbdev' instead? Just change the Driver line in /etc/X11/XF86config. An updated kernel with the adb bug (hopefully) fixed will be uploaded in a few days.

Hi, Thanks very much for the info on the kernel, I'll be patient... In any case, I have to rebuild it. I didn't experience a crash since a few days now, but it is probably because I do not make any "experiments" with my system, just standard work. I'll let you know. Cheers Damir Olaf Hering a écrit :
