It (my system) hangs whenever I try to logout with the dm. This is the reason that I am forced to either telinit 3 or "zap" X. This same or similar issue has been reported on the DRI site by me and others using the ATI Radeon (r100) chipset devices. I'd have to classify this as a serious bug in the DRI/DRM architecture. > As for screen blanking, do you use OpenGL or otherwise fancy > screensavers?

Yes, I could. However, this is a major step backwards in the XFree86 project's capabilities from earlier versions (eg. 4.2.1). - -- Gary L.
