Hi,
I've a laptop with Debian Woody with KDE 3.0.5 only with stable
packages, and when i don't use it for a while the KDE turns on the
screen saver, and after a while the APM subsystem turns the LDC off to
save power. This works fine when i'm connected to power. When i'm on
battery it works fine until the time that APM turns my LCD off. When
ever this happends, the LCD turns on and the system crashes! (the
keyboard or mouse does not respond and even if i try to get into the
laptop from another computer from the network, the LAPTOP seams to be
offline.)
Is this a bug? or do i need any patch to my kernel? i've kernel 2.4.18
and if i'm not mistache it worked fine on KDE 3.0.3 (not shure for 3.0.4).
I only get this problem while i'm on batteries. My laptop is a Clevo
2700C (sometimes it explains everything :-)
Thanks,
Paulo Lopes
PS: Sorry for my english, i'm not a native speaker.
Are you using the drivers from www.winischhoffer.net, or are you using
the ones that ship with the kernel and XFree? If the latter, switch to
the former, they work much better.
