| |
With all of the late 2.3 kernels, 2.4 test kernels, and the latest official 2.4.0 kernel that I have tried, I get disturbing behavior during and after heavy disk access, such as uploading a 500MB file from the local network. This action causes my screen to go blank in X and remain blank unless I move the mouse or type on the keyboard. The second I stop doing one of these activities, it goes blank again. While it is blank, it seems to be flashing every second, as if it is recieving blank screen commands repeatedly. This behavior continues until I restart the machine. If I switch to a console, everything is fine. If I restart the X server, the behavior continues. I have never seen this behavior in any of the 2.2 series of kernels, including 2.2.18 which I am running now. If anyone is interested in this problem, I can get all of the relevant hardware and software info for my computer. Just let me know what I need to provide.
thanks,
Rodney M. Jokerst
