[opensuse] Screen Saver Engagment Fails (11.3)
Hi, On a new 11.3 installation using the commercial nVidia driver (version 256.35, though the symptom also occurred on the earlier version just replaced a few days ago by 256.35), whenever the screen saver should engage, I just see a very brief flash on the screen. I interpret this as the screen saver starting and immediately stopping. I've tried several different screen-saver modules, but always with the same effect. I also tried setting the monitor power-save timeout to be less than the screen saver timeout, and when I do this the power save _does_ engage. All the details are available in this bug report: <http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=625700> If anyone has seen this and especially if you've solved it, please let me know along with any interesting new details or information.

I see this too. I am using the fglrx Catalyst 10.7 drivers from ATI in conjunction with an onboard HD 3300 IGP. Not quite sure what do do about it though. -Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Would you add any distinct details about your configuration and your symptoms to that bug report? <http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=625700>

I would if this site was not brain-dead. It took so long to attempt creating an account I was fairly certain something was wrong. It did send me an email for validation, but each page is a 3+ minute wait to see if it does anything. For a so-called technology company to operate something in public so obviously broken really shows the importance they ascribe to their 'Open Source' efforts. After several 3+ minute waits, the site just proceeded to hang "Waiting for secure-www.novell.com". It just sits there and does nothing. If I wait long enough I can finally get "504 Gateway Time-Out Lost connection to origin server". Sorry - it's broken and I'm not going to waste my time with something Novell should fix and make work correctly. -Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
