PathPilot Screen freezes after idle for an hour.

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 just locked up again this time it lost teh mouse as well.

Oh Well, Back to work

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 ??

Hi ALL an update. I updated teh PathPilot to teh current version and teh screens freeze problem went away.

Well I spoke too soon. It last all night and most of teh day then froze up again.

I fear this NEW PC built for pathPilot was a waste of money and time.

I am not so sure of an OS that cannot run modern new MBs without guessing IF it will work. It had teh latest Bios and video drivers even then selecting a video driver was a guessing game . It would NOT run from teh onboard at ALL. PathPilot would not load with an error of OpenGL not supported. ADDED a new Video card with 2GB mem and found a driver that seemed to work. But it may not after all.

Never had these problems with WINDOS ( AND I did test this PC with another controller package with ZERO problems.

Just a thought, ( TP
