Public bug reported:
I am using Kubuntu 6.10. (64 bit) My computer has

I have noticed for quite some time that when I leave my computer
unattended for longer preiods of time, it would be locked up completely
when I returned. This would happen after the power saving had blanked my
monitors. It was not possible to ssh into the machine, and the screens
would never "wake up" from their sleep, regardless of how much i cliked
on buttons and tapped the keyboard.
I finally became so irritated with this that i decided I wanted to fix
it (and this bug report is part of that process).
Troubleshooting I have tried so far:
- switching off DPMS in xorg.conf file. This results in one of 2 endings when
I leave the computer unattended for quite some time. Either X or KDM restarts
(session terminates somehow and I need to log in again) or the screensaver will
be on, but stalled. The stalled screensaver led me to believe that the problem
was rather in the screensaver than with the power management features, so I
will now re-enable DPMS. All in all the problems seemed less frequent with DPMS
enabled but that may be totall conincidental.
I wonder what to do now? I have had enough lock-ups and need some help
to resolve this :)
