Description Florent CHANTRET 2005-10-03 21:12:48 UTC

Hi,

I've a lot of times, but not any time a problem when I exit from the screensaver.

I can see the mouse pointer anymore and if I try to click and mouve a lot, there
isn't any behaviour on the screen so this is not only the mouse pointer that is
hidden but the whole mouse that didn't respond.

I've tried to switch to a console(ALT + Fx key) then switch back to X but there
is no difference.

I'm forced to restart X in order to get the mouse pointer again.

this sounds like a driver problem to me

Comment 2 Stefan Dirsch 2005-10-04 08:07:12 UTC

Could you add /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

Here is the Xorg.conf

The log file will follow as soon as the bug is reproduced

Comment 5 Stefan Dirsch 2005-10-12 13:19:48 UTC

Also send /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old after reproducing this bug.

Comment 6 Florent CHANTRET 2005-10-19 18:00:06 UTC

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, the bug made a time to happen again and I've spend several days on Ubuntu but I definitively like SuSE. I think I'll stick with it and continue to help ;o)

Here is the Xorg.0.log.old and I've noticed this line :

Synaptics DeviceOff called

Here it is. This is called automaticcaly sometimes when in screensaver.

Comment 8 Stefan Dirsch 2005-10-20 20:51:57 UTC

Ok. If it's really related to the synaptics driver it shouldn't happen any more when the synaptics driver is not in use. Could you reconfigure X to standard mouse driver only? Should be possible with SaX2.

Comment 9 Florent CHANTRET 2005-10-22 21:42:41 UTC

I've tried and still have the problem.

Here is what I've done :

In Sax2, I have two tabs "Mouse 1" and "Mouse 2". I've disabled the first pointer which is seen as "Synaptics Touchpad" but I've let the one from the second tab "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse".

I will attach the Xorg.0.log.old and the new xorg.conf

Comment 12 Stefan Dirsch 2005-10-22 23:48:53 UTC

Ok. Then it's not related to the synaptics driver at all. Maybe it's the nvidia driver. Question is, does it work when using the nv driver. Call "switch2nv" for this. Attention, switching back to nvidia driver is not that easy!

Inside YOU enable "Installable and Installed Patches" for "Show Patch
Category" and select "Download NVIDIA(r) Graphics Driver" from the
patches list (usually at the bottom of the list). Note, that you need
to mark it as "Update" (right mouse click) if you already installed it
before and the driver was uninstalled - for any reason.

Comment 13 Stefan Dirsch 2005-11-10 15:39:47 UTC

No feedback --> WONTFIX.

Comment 14 Egbert Eich 2005-11-24 11:28:05 UTC

I would like to continue investigating this - at least up to the point were we can be sure it's related to the NVIDIA proprietary driver.

Florent, if you feel like you would like to continue discussing this please reopen this bug.

I would like to come back to the original report:

Can you see anyting happen at all on the screen? Ie. some icon that changes periodically, or text appear in the window when you type that had the focus last?

Comment 15 Florent CHANTRET 2005-11-24 11:33:05 UTC

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. As the bug is'nt systematic, I have wait to see if it happens again (moreover, I've switch to another distro).

But, when I've disabled the NVIDIA proprietary driver, the bug didn't seem to happen anymore (almost in one or two week of running).

Comment 16 Egbert Eich 2005-11-24 17:28:49 UTC

How about my second question:

> Can you see anyting happen at all on the screen? Ie. some icon that changes
> periodically, or text appear in the window when you type that had the focus
> last?

Do you remember what happened?
