Dear All,
I state the basic problem, then give further explanations below. Any help
appreciated, especially as I'm just groping!
My basic problems are:
-----------------------
(1) to ascertain the cause of the black screen (blank, not blank) I sometimes
obtain, and I'm forced to switch off power and reboot and how to solve it.
(2) to get paraview to display on screen, without aborting with the message:
< ...>
X Error: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) 1

What I have done so far:
------------------------
Googling and fumbling along, I managed to install kmod-fglrx and fglrx-x11-drv
which I seem to need, given an ATI Mobility Radeon graphics card.
Before doing this, my screen went black (i.e., black, with no light, not blank)
a couple of times, and resumed on its own, sometimes after touching the
keyboard and mouse. Until now, I put it down to perhaps screen saver
activities.)
Then disaster struck: the screen went black again, indefinitely, and I had to
force a shutdown (keeping the power button down for a while). Repeated attempts
at booting did not help, and could not do fsck with a rescue disk because the
external USB hard drive was encrypted. I finally ran a livecd (6.0) where I
used cryptsetup to open drive, and
chroot $NEWROOT bash -i -l
to mount the partition. I also had to create /dev/{random,urandom,null,zero} in
the new root, programs like yum could run. After this, I succeffully rebooted
the machine!
Surprisingly, paraview could open, though it gave a message along the lines of
"all authentication could not be done" (sorry, I did not successfully copy the
message).
Unfortunately, paraview cannot work with error messages as given below.
I will be grateful for any assistance, and possible solutions.
