Recently I have had problems with my 1000h, running sid, with the
screen getting turned off while watching movies with mplayer. Normally
this will happen after some time of inactivity and will turn on again
when a key is pressed or on mouse activity. Now however, the screen
remains turned off. The sound of the video is also turned off. It still
reacts to pressing the power button once for a clean shutdown.
I have reproduced this on both 2.6.26-1 (2.6.26-13) and 2.6.29-1
(2.6.29-3). I have not been able to reproduce while not watching
movies with mplayer. Is this a known problem, and is there a
work-around? Or what logs can be interesting to attach?
I'm having a problem on 1000HGO (lenny, 2.6.30) which might be related:
When I open a second X session to login a second user and play web
video there, sometimes the second session locks up, but without
disturbing the first session. However, restarting the X server on the
2nd session doesn't help, the virtual console #8 remains dead.
When your having problems again, could you please check whether you can
switch to the console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and back (Alt-F7)? What happens
when you kill the X server using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace? Does it re-spawn?
(This is just to check whether we have a similar problem. Can anybody
advise concerning diagnosis?)
Kind regards,
Thiemo
