Oh, I forgot to mention, I am running the SuSE versions of XFree86 4.1 and KDE 2.1.1/2.1.2. My graphics card is an ATI Rage 128 RL (AGP). Screen is Gateway EV500. My motherboard is an Intel 440ZX-66 AGPset with a 500 MHz Celeron processor. This is standard with a Gateway 500 SEC like mine. I have 26MB memory, which is max for this motherboard.

Hi, I've noticed a pecularity in my graphical boot on SuSE Linux 7.2 (x386). I have set up KDE 2 screensaver to 15 minutes (blank screen) and my KDE 2 energy saver standby to 30 minutes. When I reboot after a power failure, the boot process does an fsck on my large hard disk partition /dev/hdb7 (21.3 GB). This takes some time. At some point during the graphical boot, the screen blanks and stays blank. I've checked /var/log/messages and it looks like the boot continues and succeeds, but I can't get the screen to come to life. The only way to recover is to boot from the rescue system, run e2fsck on /dev/hdb7 and then reboot. The system then comes up normally. Has anyone seen this before? Should I disable graphical boot, or screen saver, or standby? Or is this just a coincidence? Or is it a bug? If it is a bug, should I report it to SuSE or to KDE or both? Thanks!
