Will not release desktop after started (Jaunty) & Xscreensaver works half-way..

[Dean Loros]

I just updated my Jaunty install with the new nVidia driver (180.35) and when I let the system sleep with gnome screensaver, I can not wake the system with key press or mouse movement. I tried several different settings without success & then installed Xscreensaver to see if it was any different....Xscreensaver will sleep & resume correctly, but will create 10's of processes of the chosen saver app which will slow the system to a crawl withing 8~10 hours, requiring a mass kill of the savers app(s).

This is only slightly better that not working as intended--I can re-enable gnome-screensaver & provide any output needed.

I realize that there are mutiple elements to this bug report--I'm starting here as this is where it showed up first.

I will note that Gnome-screensaver was working well for me prior to the driver update.

More Information--I have found that the problem only happens with a OpenGL screensaver--the basic savers work without problems & will not create tons of apps. So, this is looking like a problem with the interaction of the new nVidia driver, both screensavers & Xorg.....I will generate more info on request.

Thanks for the report, May you please get us a screensaver debug log? please do the following:

killall -9 gnome-screensaver
gnome-screensaver --no-daemon --debug > /tmp/gs.log 2>&1

Reproduce the issue and attach that resulting file to the report, thanks in advance.

Hi Pedro---

A bit late on this one---I'm on Karmic testing right now & I guess that this one should have been closed---I had forgot about it...The later issue of nVidia driver 180 fixed this problem.....Thank You!!!!
