Description Forgotten User vd_J2WSqeK 2005-08-24 13:34:22 UTC

Code 10 beta 2
On rachmaninov.suse.de  from time to time I have seen where the powersaver does
not return to visable when moving the mouse or pressing keys.

The workaround that I have done is to switch consoles (Cntl Alt F1) then switch
back ((Cntl Alt F7). This will return to a visable state.

Not sure what info to provide to diagnose this.

You mean the kpowersave applet disappears?
Could you try to specify from time to time a bit more detailed.
Is it only if you move the mouse over the applet, or is there any way to
reproduce this on an other machine, so that we could have a look at it ourselves?
Is this a Gnome or KDE system, I expect Gnome?

Comment 2 Forgotten User vd_J2WSqeK 2005-08-25 10:13:26 UTC

I've misled you... I assumed kpowersaver was the modules responsible for
allowing the monitor to shutdown or go into powersave mode.  Is it Xfree?
So let me try again because I was not so descriptive.

This is KDE.
The monitor (iiyama Vision Master Pro17) after some time of inactivity on the
keyboard or mouse will go to a powersaving function where nothing is displayed
or visable.  The power l.e.d. on the monitor goes from solid on to blinking
state.  Normally a movement of the mouse or pressing a key will trigger the
monitor to "power up" once again.  

65% of the time when going into the powersave mode on the monitor, and pressing
a  key or moving the mouse the monitor will once again power up and return to
visable mode as opposed to a dark screen.  35% of the time, a key press or
movement of the mouse will NOT trigger the monitor to power back on. When this
happens switching consoles is the work around required to "power up" the monitor. 

Regarding reproducing this: I'm hopeful that Seife or other QA person will be
able to reproduce the problem. I'll try beta 3 today.

Comment 3 Danny Al-Gaaf 2005-08-25 10:51:11 UTC

This is not a powersave (mean powersave/kpowersave) issue. This is maybe a X11/
X.org bug ... I reassign to this component.

Please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Ok. nv driver. Geforce2 integrated. Nothing obvious I could see.

Comment 12 Egbert Eich 2005-08-30 09:18:58 UTC

Any news?

Comment 13 Egbert Eich 2005-08-31 17:58:18 UTC

OK, I was logged on rachmaninov waiting to do some debugging. However I received
no feedback instead I was logged out when the macine was shut down.
I'm closing this now for lack of feedback.
