Hi everyone, I have only noticed this behaviour on my Notebook (Acer TM 803), so I write to the laptop list. On my Desktop (same Knoppix-Debian-Install) there is no such error.
Description: When I choose to logout from my KDE session, the screen goes black and the laptop stands still. No reaction to keyboard, mouse, external login....nothing. Only way out: cut power! The strange thing: it doesn't happen everytime. I do not know the exact circumstances, I can see no pattern. I have checked the X-Server logfile, the Kernel logfile, and all sort of logfiles found in /var/log: I cannot find any reference to the failure. Setup: Debian installation from Knoppix 3.3 (mix of testing and some unstable I think), followed by extensive updating and compilation of new kernels (Note: this behaviour occurs with all tested kernels, and with all KDE versions). Current kernel: 2.4.24 Current X-Version: 4.3.0-0ds4 Current X-Server: Radeon (R250 Lf) Current Display manager: KDM (vers. 3.1.3-1) Current KDE version: 3.1.5 Now I need directions on where to look for error messages and logs that could elucidate this strange behaviour! Thanks a bunch, Stefan
