​That's not a panic; but in the log, it shows that you have the following display output: VGA-1 DVI-D-1 DFP1: INTERNAL_TMDS1 LVDS-1 LCD1: INTERNAL_LVDS SVIDEO-1 TV1: INTERNAL_DAC2 make sure that when the screen goes blank, xrandr -q should show that the display is connected. ---

Peter, when that happens, ssh into the box, and send us the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. also try to run this and see if it comes back. chvt 1 && sleep 7 && chvt 7 if not, try this: xrandr --output DP-1 --primary ## you may have to run xrandr -q to find our available outputs (if not DP-1) ​ For t

Carsten, I am using GLX extension, w/ the native nvidia driver, and just to give you an idea: Running glxgears shows that E uses 23% cpu, while glxgears only uses 1%. And this test was done with no pager, since it would create a overhead for E redrawing a preview window. > the compositor is go
