Well, for two contemporary RELENG_7/i386 machines I confirm than ewen after portupgrade -f gdm gnome-screensaver consolekit and subsequent reboot, activating screensaver leads to the effect described earlier. Both machines use VESA X driver, if it's important. -- Sincerely, D.Marck [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN] [ FreeBSD committer: ma...@freebsd.org ] *** Dmitry Morozovsky --- D.Marck --- Wild Woozle --- ma...@rinet.ru *** ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I thought I would chime in with a "me too." I updated ports yesterday, then rebooted the machine. I only observed this when the screen saver is password locked. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Actually, it's gdm. Every time gdm gets updated, you need to logout of GNOME, restart gdm, then log back in.

Thanks! I see this periodically when doing port updates. I think that it has to do with re-installing either gnome-screensaver or consolekit.
