I had a similar problem, but it happened on all screen savers, not just OpenGL ones. It turned out to not be related to the screensavers, but to ACPI. I put acpi=off as a kernel parameter, and now the machine doesn't lock up at all. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David A.

It does appear to be X-related. What I noticed last night was that I was running on one of Fedoras older kernels. Apparently when I updated the kernel to the latest grub was never reconfigured to point to the right default kernel. Apparently someone was not keeping an eye on the reboot process;) In any event the machine ran all last night, though that is not a final evaluation as the machine often ran for a day or more. So atleast this is a suggestion, make sure you are up to date with both the kernel and OpenGL. Of course another day may prove this to be garbage.

It has a nvidia video card installed. I was using their binary driver but removed it and am just using the supplied 2d one. I still get the random freezes. I noticed that I always get a kernel oops complaining about a virtual paging problem when I check the logs. I am still trying to resolve this but it does appear that when I set the screen saver to just a blank page the problem goes away. -- Gerry Doris <gdoris@xxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
