I tested under 2.6.23.9, 2.6.24-rc3 and rc4. So all of these kernels have the same issue. Also, I don't use any proprietary driver. My video card is Intel-945 and I use the "intel" driver. I use 3D screensavers as well. These kernels die after some long idles like 1 or 2 days after. My distribution is Kubuntu 7.10 and with Kubuntu kernel this behavior did not happened. So, how to track this interesting problem ? Any ideas welcomed :-) Cheers, Tarkan Erimer
