Hi all,
I have an HP DC7700 with an ADD2/DVI card driving a 1600x1200 NEC
Multisync monitor, using the stock Fedora 9 intel driver.
Sometimes, after logging out of a Fedora 9 gnome session, the screen
goes all blue. Bringing up a text session (Ctrl+F1) works OK, but X will
not run properly after hitting Ctrl+F7 or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. Restarting
the computer is the only solution for clearing the blue screen in X.
I haven't found any useful log messages. It is an erratic problem.
Has anyone else seen this? It's really annoying!
By any chance is your keyboard (or mouse) connected in some interesting
way? Like wireless, through KVM switch, USB, or anything else other than
PS/2 cable? I have seen somewhat similar problems with input static. And
see below...
Swapping ADD2 cards made no difference. Swapping monitors made no
difference. Swapping the computer made no difference. i386 vs x86_64
made no difference.
If your Multisync is like some of mine it has dual input capability.
Sometimes when changing modes (such as after logout) the monitor gets
wedged. Next time you see it try power cycling the monitor, even
shutting down and pulling the plug to force a reboot might be needed.
Installing xorg* from rawhide didn't work at all, too raw I guess...
May be a configuration option in the build from source.
