Package: xserver-common
Version: 4.1.0-16woody1
Severity: normal

Recently I installed KDE 3.2 (woody packages from kde.org). It quickly
occured, that leaving the computer with screensaver running for longer
time leads to X server crashes, mentioned in kdm.log in the following
way:
   Fatal server error:
   Caught signal 11.  Server aborting

After some investigation I found the note, that since KDE 3.2, kde
screensaver uses DPMS mode. It seems that while entering one of DPMS
modes, the X server crashes.

I use Matrox Millenium II (MGA 2164W) videocard (with X driver mga)
and the Philips Brilliance 180P2 flat monitor. Apart from setting 
   Option "DPMS"
I did not configure any dpms options.

I will just disable DPMS support as workaround so this bug is not
critical, but it requires some examination. In case I can do something
to help, please let me know which kind of test or information would be
useful.

Closing since it is probably fixed nowadays and the submitter cannot try
to reproduce. Feel free to reopen if you ever reproduce.
