[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#545077: fglrx-driver: video crashes after return from xscreensaver

[Marvin Renich]

Package: fglrx-driver
Version: 1:9-8-2
Severity: important


With 1:9-8-2, but not with 1:9-8-1 (versions below reflect downgrading
to a working version), when doing something to wake xscreensaver, the
screen briefly shows the normal desktop but then the screen saver
immediately continues, and no mouse or keyboard events will kill the
screen saver.

Switching to a console and manually killing the screen saver (both the
active hack and xscreensaver itself) hoses the graphics completely,
including for the console (garbage on the screen, switching consoles is
ineffective).

If you need more info, or if there is something I can do to help
diagnose the problem, please let me know.

If this affects many users, I believe upgrading the severity to grave is
warranted.  It would be nice if you would prevent this version from
migrating to testing.

Thanks...Marvin
