| |
I'm not subscribed to the list currently, but I did first check the archive to see if there was anything about this and came up empty. Basically, I noticed some odd behavior with screen blanking under X Windows. What happens is that the screen keeps blanking over and over even when I'm doing things. Sometimes it will blank while I'm in the middle of typing something, and will unblank on the next letter typed. Sometimes it can sit there for a while before blanking. It's fairly random. Using 'setterm -blank 0' before running the startx script does not affect this behavior at all. I also don't see this problem under text mode, just X Windows. This problem seems to have crept it somewhere in the 2.2.0-pre? series. I was using a 2.1.132 kernel with no problems, then when I upgraded to 2.2.0-pre4 was when I first noticed this. The problem is still present in 2.2.0-pre5. Was there something introduced that requires userspace tweaking to correct this, or is this actually some sort of kernel bug? If anyone has any answers about this, please CC a copy of the e-mail to me as well as the list. Thank you!
