I've encountered a peculiar problem with Jaunty Jackalope, (perhaps secretly related to new anti-smoking legislation), with GDM encountering a fatal error and restarting when the screen saver tries to kick in:
gdm[2745]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
A search on this error pointed to quite a few people having a similar problem back in February 2008, but it seemed to be related to the NVidia X server. (I'm using ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 on a Taiwanese MSI notebook, using the ATI Radeon X server that comes stock with Jaunty)
Has anyone else encountered this with Jaunty?
I've disabled the screen saver to see if that helps (the other choice was to not go out for a cigarette) -- will post results of that later.
[ed. note it has occurred to me that perhaps I ought to have posted this to the X11 forum -- although this is a new install of Jaunty -- my apologies if this forum was the incorrect choice]
