Losing desktop access on resolution change
Debian Sid 64bit / kernel 2.6.34 but problem seen also on 2.6.33
KDE 4.4.3, early versions too, composition or not does not make a difference driver: 196.36.15 / 196.36.24 / 256.25 / 256.29 when a native ( like Unigine benchmarks ) or WINE app ( like The Witcher ) changes the resolution i get stuck on a black screen or with the wallpaper with the mouse cursor and keyboard working sometimes after a quick switch to a VT via the keyboard and back will let the app to recover ok but most of the time only a X zap via CTRL-ALT-Backspace helps sometimes i get a kernel OOPS and i posted a log in the dedicated thread here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=151032 but i even saw this kind of OOPS at an earlier time than the time when i tested the resolution change so it might not be related another thing worth mentioning, in Unigine Heaven for instance i get the black screen when i want to change the resolution but on The Witcher the resolution changes ok but when i exit the game i get stuck attached the bug report after trying to change the resolution in Unigine Heaven 2.1, switched to a VT and killed it, switched back to a working desktop, run The Witcher, change res ok, play a bit, exited to only a mouse and a wallpaper and then killed the X server |

Re: Losing desktop access on resolution change
This is still an issue with 256.44 too.
I've updated to KDE 4.4.5 and I've found out some more things in the mean time, if i kill kwin (i can switch to a VT) i can get back to the desktop (taskbar, systray, etc) but i can't run anything, if i have a console open i can start kwin& and get full functionality back. . |
