I recently upgraded from F12 to F13 using preupgrade. Everything seemed to
go well, except for one problem I think I've traced to the screensaver.
When I lock the screen now at the console, I get logged out of my
session after a short period of time (a few minutes) . My first thought was
that maybe one of the screensavers was bad, so I went to change that one I
was using, but as soon as I selected another one (not even having to hit
preview), I get logged out, although it does seem the selection is changed.
I tried unlocking immediately, and it works. If I unlock the screen after
a couple of minutes, but before the unwanted logout, the screen just goes
black, and I can't get in. The system is still running, though, since I can
get in via SSH.
I do see in /var/log/messages that is looks like Xorg is coredumping, but I
don't see anything to indicate why.
Has anyone else had this trouble?
