Bug#232042: xserver-common: X crash (signal 11) while using screensaver with DPMS support
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.
