Has anyony experienced the screen freezing after pathpilot has being idle for a while ? Here after about 1 hour it will freeze up and requires a reboot . Sometimes it is just teh lower half of teh screen other time it is teh entire screen.

Interesting (;-) TP

Might be more Linux/PC related than PathPilot related

What kernel version and what PC hardware do you have?

I know that some of the newer Intel CPUs have trouble with older
kernels unless you disable the video power management

Whay is you actual kernel version? ( uname -a will report this )

Check the mainboard BIOS for screen blanking, timeouts, and power saving options. Disable everything.

I thought I had turned off ALL power saving features but I will double check.

Just a note but when it freezes teh screen the MOUSE still works but the keyboard does not. You cannot hotkey any features and them work.

OK so whatever it was that I turn off in teh CPU power section seems to have worked. It has been active for over 3 hrs and has not frozen up.

Thanks Guys, (;-) TP

Well it still locks up from time to time IF idle BUT if I get out of PathPilot and go to teh linux control panel(gnome ??) I left it run there for overnight and up to noon the next day and it was still functional. The problem seems to be with PathPilot ??
