The problem disappeared after I disabled all APM settings in BIOS and it seems the real bug is related somewhere betweend my hardware, my kernel and my XFree. The KDE part of this bug is that although I deliberately disabled everything about APM I found in KDE config, KDE still enabled some energy saving features (or at least I interpret in this way the situation - using other window managers similar problem never happened). What's the ouput if you run "xset q" in Konsole? Are you really sure you have both screensaver disabled and monitor saving (DPMS - in Power control->Monitor control) disabled in KControl? I am not sure whether my current 'xset q' will matter anything, in the meantime I upgraded from debian woody to debian sarge (newer XFree, newer KDE, ....) Nevertheless here it is: $ xset q Keyboard Control: auto repeat: on key click percent: 0 LED mask: 00000010 auto repeat delay: 250 repeat rate: 30 auto repeating keys: 00ffffffdffffbbf fadfffffffdfe5ff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 400 bell duration: 100 Pointer Control: acceleration: 20/10 threshold: 4 Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 0 cycle: 600 Colors: default colormap: 0x20 BlackPixel: 0 WhitePixel: 65535 Font Path: unix/:7100,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/home/marcink/.fonts,/home/marcink/.fonts/Ghostscript8,/home/marcink/.fonts/QuasiTrueType,/home/marcink/.fonts/TeXowe Bug Mode: compatibility mode is disabled DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 1200 Suspend: 1800 Off: 2400 DPMS is Disabled Font cache: hi-mark (KB): 5120 low-mark (KB): 3840 balance (%): 70 File paths: Config file: /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 Modules path: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules Log file: /var/log/XFree86.0.log i'm seeing this too - but only after i played with the screensaver config, so i assume something goes wrong with the dcop signals.

I haven't observed this problem for quite a lot of time. It need not prove anything as I managed to switch to another PC twice in the meantime, but, well.... |
