Bug#396993: xserver-xorg-video-nv: System lockup on screen blanking
Package: xserver-xorg-video-nv Version: 1:2.1.2-2 Followup-For: Bug #396993 Hola, I've been plagued by hard system lock-ups ever since I switched to the xorg nv driver from the binary nvidia driver. This is a Compaq Presario V6000 laptop (twin-core amd64 CPU) with NVidia motherboard, BTW. There are two situations where I get lock-ups: 1) on screen blanking: a) when playing video full-screen, I _always_ get an immediate lock-up if the screen blanks due to my forgetting to twiddle the touchpad every few minutes b) erratically when the machine is left running unattended for several hours, especially at night -- it seems much more frequent if the lid is closed, but I haven't been able to pin down a real pattern 2) on GNOME user switching (probably the same as bug #405179, BTW): I hadn't done this in a while (I'm normally the only user of this laptop) When I get these lock-ups the following occurs: screen blanks followed immediately by loss of keyboard and pointer response, and several (3-5 or so?) seconds later the cooling fan goes into overdrive, as it were, and stays that way until hard reboot. Obviously I can't see my CPU activity with the screen blanked, but my semi-educated gut feeling is that the fan suggests that something has got both CPU cores going at 100% in a loop... I currently only have network access via public wireless LAN so my I've not been able to try SSHing in to see if the box is truly dead or just lacking all keyboard and pointer response. If I can get a proper cable or DSL line in here to reestablish my LAN I'll report on that in future. -- Package-specific info: Contents of /var/lib/x11/X.roster: xserver-xorg /etc/X11/X target does not match checksum in /var/lib/x11/X.md5sum.

Bug#231205: xserver-xfree86: also occurs with [ati] 3D Rage Pro
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0-7 Severity: normal Followup-For: Bug #231205 Just as with my Radeon system, now that 4.3 hit testing I can see that the same problem occurs on the box with the 3D Rage Pro, using the ati driver -- that is, console switching is totally disabled, as is CTRL-ALT-Backspace to kill X.

radeon VT switch broken in 4.3.0-0pre1v5
I just found the thread on the VT problems with i830. I've a Radeon R250 in my laptop and have the same problem. With the generic driver and 4.2 from Sarge things were fine. I just get no VT switching with the experimental 4.3 packages, since I started using them (-0pre1v3 IIRC). I never filed a bug because I was under the impression we weren't to file bugs on experimental packages... Please CC me as I'm not on debian-x. Cheers, -- Pax vobiscum; pax cum omnibus.

Package: xterm Version: 4.2.1-3 Severity: normal When the window title is set with 'echo -ne "\033]0;föø\007"', for example, non-ASCII chars are dropped, rendering the title only `f'. (For comparison, in Eterm or rxvt, the window title `föø' appears).
