The problem seems not to occur without rotation. Disabling visualization appears to have no effect (the display still blanks). The machine is pingable after the display blanks--I suspect that it's still running, except for the X display being unusable.
When I clicked on the link without rotation, a totem plugin started up, but I don't think the mp3 itself began playing, and I saw no graphics other than the minimal UI (this was prior to disabling visualization). I think it was probably just sitting there waiting for me to press the "play" button. So, it seems like visualiation is not the cause, but rather whatever basic X things the totem plugin does. (?) More background: Rotation on this display didn't work correctly until this version of Ubuntu. Previously it'd sort of work, but there was lots of screen crap and the server would crash after being used for a bit. Also, if I'm on a rotated display and I use the "Screen Resolution" widget to try to unrotate it, the display goes into a flashing unusable state until reboot. It does appear, though, that I can log out of a rotated display and into an unrotated display with no trouble. -- web page -> X server crash/blank, no display until reboot [Q965] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225400 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
