Hi,

I have a pair of NVIDIA cards (a Geforce2 TI AGP card and a
TNT2 M64 PCI card). I'm running XFree86 4.1.0 (on Debian).
Generally it works fine. I'm using the nv driver, as I'm
told the nvidia driver doesn't support multiple cards (and
it locked up my system a lot when I tried it).

Anyway I find that if I leave my system idle for a long
period (overnight, or while I'm at work during the day), the
X server is unhappy when I get back.

I find that I can move the mouse between the desktops fine,
but as soon as I click on a window, I can no longer move
the mouse between desktops, nor type anything in any window
or do anything with the mouse. I can't switch to another
terminal either (Ctl-Alt-F1 etc).

I can login remotely and kill (-9) xdm and the X server
and restart it and it all works fine again, until next time.

Tonight I've tried disabling the screen blanking (with xset)
and I'll see if that helped in the morning. I don't use
xscreensaver or any other screen saver.

Before I had the pair of NVIDIA cards I had a Matrox G400
dual head which worked perfectly.

Any ideas? It's very frustrating.


thanks,
Hamish
