FreeBSD splash screen - freezes my Dell Inspiron 9400
I'm observing the following with 8.0 Release: Just for fun I installed a FreeBSD splash screen The Power to Serve with the abstracted little demon. As long as the vidcontrol screen saver (not X11, I'm not running X11 at present) has not fired the first time, everything is fine - I can work in alphanumeric mode. But when I leave the computer unattended for a while so that the screensaver switches to darken/blank the screen the first time, the machine freezes or at least cannot be woken up again so that the character screen shows up again. Anyone seen this or having a clue? Also not sure whether it is a splash screen issue at all, butr I thought so, since it would have come up earlier otherwise. -- Christoph Kukulies ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The splash screen has its own screen saver. Or are you talking about the screen saver enabled in rc.conf? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
