I did not have the problem with the build I did on Friday, Apr. 8. I run gkrellm, a GTK based system monitor. I also run Gnome 2.10 and X.org. All of these ports are up to date. System is a P4M IBM T30. After my new kernel was installed yesterday, gkrellm would work until the screen blanks (screensaver set to blank). When the screen is re-activated, all of the applications refresh except that one. I just have an empty grey are where gkrellm should be. top shows that gkrellm is continually in RUN state, although it is using very little CPU. The second problem is that Gnome will no longer shut down. (This may be an artifact of th problems gkrellm is having.) I have to CTRL-ALT-BS. (Ugh!) I'd look at gkrellm except that I only updated the kernel on Monday, not world, let alone the gkrellm port. I thought some user-land/kernel issue may have cropped up, so I just finished rebuilding both the kernel and world. No change in behavior. Any ideas what might have changed between Friday morning and today to cause this? I'm not even sure where to start looking. -- R.
