I found this thread in the archives, and I am experiencing the same behavior (on my Compaq Presario 2100 with a stock "woody" bf2.4 install). I have also seen that I cannot run KDE -- it simply crashes during startup. From everything I've read, I probably need to upgrade to Xfree86 4.3 in order to make these problems go away, but I have some questions first.
1) In the short term (I need to get work done _today_ and can't spend the day upgrading X), how can I turn off the screensaver? I don't see any menu items that refer to the screensaver; I don't see anything in my XF86Config file that refers to DPMS (except the "Monitor" section that lists it as an option), or to screen blank times, etc...; I don't have an "xscreensaver" package installed. I don't know where to start (obviously :-) 2) In the long term, is there a .deb package I can grab to perform the upgrade to 4.3 more easily than downloading 12 different files from xfree86.org? TIA... --wpd
