Yes, I had the graphical daemon screensaver on. When it hangs the daemon is in suspension (but oddly, the figure remains on the screen!) and the screen 'does not fill with vertical black and white stripes' as reported by Pete F. And yes, it doesn't happen all the time, just on random occasions. I forgot about it (i) when I installed X on the machine and (ii) whenever I leave the machine, it's on X and not on any of the consoles; so I think it's the screensaver. > Hmm, we have had the same experience with one of our servers - also > running the daemon screen saver but with an old #9 video card (I think > - remote possibility of a Matrox but unlikely).

My VGA card is an S3Trio3D/2X on a PIII 733, FWIW, and I do not have VESA in my kernel config. Hope this helps. cheers mars -- "The first rule of magic is simple.
