hi,
 Running Debian 3r0, and the Gnome window
manager keeps logging me out after about
10 - 15 minutes. Finding my gRIP encoding
sessions killed when I get back from lunch
is becoming very irritating !

Any ideas how I turn it off ?

(my tty logins behave normally)



with help from the gnome support site
i think i have traced the problem

it seems to be a bug in the vesa driver
in the x-server package in debian 3.0r0 (stable)
- any screensaver crashes gdm !

only way round it for now is for me to 
pull the radeon 8500 video card (which i can
only use under the vesa driver, the radeon
driver soes not work as my 5591/5592 agpgart
is unsupported in the linux kernal) and use
the built in sis display instead.

hope this is fixed in 3.0r1 !!

best regards
dave morgan
