Version: unknown (using 3.5.7, compiled sources) Compiler: Target: i586-mandriva-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.22.18-server-1mdv When I use KDE desktop with Compiz Fusion 3D effects, I can't use screen saver at all; here it is: When 3D desktop effects are enabled and screen saver starts, KDE hangs up completely and don't respond to any actions. I must RESET my computer or turn off the power. Also, sometimes, this doesn't happen instead the screen saver is shown within a window on the lower right corner (as if displaced from its normal position: the full screen). Again can't restore my computer out of it. Must RESET.
Did you even try to switch to a shell (CTRL+ALT+F1 for example) or use the magic SysRq keys?
Really I didn't, But I think the keyboard becomes completely DEAD. The simple test I used to do in this case: I try to toggle the NUM-LOCK it dosn't respond. Also the Caps-lock: can't be turned on or off in this black screen. ( after resuming from the screen saver I get a black screen). so I say the keyboard is completely dead...... Additional information that I think valuable: My Graphics card is NVIDIA 8800 GT and I am using the driver from NVIDIA web site (actually the driver needed to build my kernel as usual). I think also this problem is from X or some problem with Compiz and X.... KDE is absolutely stable without Compiz...... Thanks alot for your attention, wishing to see the best KDE ever ..

KDE provides only user-space applications and as such it cannot completely lock up your entire computer -> X bug.
It seems right X-bug. I started to have similar problem with other full screen applications other than Compiz..... as for example runing the 3D game Armagetron ...... I will report to nVIDIA. <div>It seems right X-bug.
