Hi to all,

I use gnome desktop. Everything functions very well except "switch-user"

Problem:

After computer sits idle, and a new user wishes to login... window comes up, switch user is selected, and then computer freezes with blank screen. Then system needs to be rebooted via the tower power button.

Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?

thanks

This is somehow isolated now - upgrade to x11-base/xorg-x11-7.3 introduce this bug. Everything works ok after downgrading xorg-x11 and its dependencies to 7.2 state.

package.mask that works for me is:

Code:

don't forget to re-emerge appropriate xf86-input-keyboard xf86-video-* and xf86-input-mouse packages after downgrade.
