Hi all
I am using a FC3 machine with latest kernel
(2.6.10-1.741-FC3). Its works fine, but after a
while
when I don't use my system the monitor goes into
stand
by mode its light start blinking which is normal.
Recently, when it goes into stand by mode and when
I
press any key to return it into active mode it just
stays into stand by mode and I have to restart the
system manually by turning off the system. Maybe it
crashes or maybe it just stayed into stand by mode
and
the system works and not crashed. The screen saver
is
also disabled and also power saving options. One
more
thing is that when I wanted to turn off screen
saver
it showed a warning windows and said that
XScreenSaver
daemon is not launched and when I clicked on OK to
launch it another error windows said that launching
xscreensaver wasn't successful. Does it make any
sense
?
Thanks,
Helena
Helena, I had very similar experience with a RH 8
system (except I did
not try to disable the XScreenSaver). Changing the
screensaver timing
options seemed to help a little for a while but the
system resumed
"locking up". By "locking up" I mean that screen,
mouse, keyboard were
all disabled to the user and the only way to recover
any control was to
either hit the system reset switch or the power
on/off switch.
I solved the problem by replacing the monitor.

I see... but I think the problem is actually a kernel
bug. I changed the setting and run the system with the
old kernel (2.6.9) instead of (2.6.10) and the problem
seems to be solved... but I am not sure yet.
My troubles with the freeze ups started right after up2date download and
installation of updated kernel and Xwindows rpms. The monitor was a
Dell 17ES Ultrascan with less than original spec capabilities (prior
repairs had reduced the range of refresh rates). I lived with the"
freeze" problem until the screen display started jumping up and down at
which time I replaced the monitor. Since then, I have not experienced
any further "freeze" situations on either RH 8 or FC-2.
