To whom it may concern:
I have recently tried out RedHat beta 7.0. It reminded me, because it installed XF86 4.01, of a bug I had forgotten to report. This bug I believe is in the X server or the linux kernel. I do not know which. It only shows up after X has been started, and I believe only when X is running.
I am running the glint driver and currently using 2.4.0-test7. If I leave the machine idle long enough for the ACPI to kick in and start shutting things down (monitor included), the machine hangs... at least to keyboard response (including SAK). I do not know about network life. I haven't tried, but I am assuming it is since SAK fails.
Again, Earlier XF86 works, 4.0 and 4.01 do not. This is present with all 2.3.x and 2.4.0-test kernels I have tried (Which are about every second up until late 2.3.5x and above, the nearly all). I believe it is ACPI/APM related, but I cannot say for sure. System is a RedHat 7.0 bet or RedHat 6.2 with all updates (6.2 until the last two or three days).
Permedia 2 128 Meg of Ram 2 WDC hard drives Trident based 4DWave sound card (DX I believe) Symbios SCSI (Diamond FirePort 40 (dual)) Permedia 2 based LeadTek Winfast 2500 w/ 8meg Athlon (classic) 800Mhz with FIC SD/11 I believe.
