I found it also happened in later releases. In fact it eventually seemed to happen almost every time I booted up, in any kernel version.
But, I discovered a workaround: I could always make it go away by switching to text mode console then back to X. I haven't been using that machine but when I get back to it I will try to work on debugging the issue more. -Aaron On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 12:07 PM, Jeremy Foshee <[email protected] > wrote: > Hi Aaron, > > This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in > it recently.
