Greetings all;
I'm not sure where I should send this.
When 30-rc4 came out, I built it, but this time I enabled the cpuspeed governor stuffs, picking middle of the road options just to see if I could feel any difference on this quad core phenom.
Booted up just fine, and ran till I left long enough for the blank screen & monitor powerdown to take place. An hour later I come in and jog the mouse to wake things up & 30 seconds later its still blanked but I can see the lcd's backlight is on, so I poke a few keys and I think the screen may have blinked on for maybe one frame once.
Ctl-alt-bsp, terminal screen is fine, and startx works. An hour later, whole machine is powered down while I'm elsewhere again. I fool with this, trying to make sense of it for another half a day, then reboot to -rc3 and rebuild -rc4 without that option, and something around 24 hours later it is still just fine.
Is this a kernel problem, or an x problem?
Thanks all.
