[gentoo-user] Nvidia-Xscreensaver problem

[gentoo-user] Nvidia-Xscreensaver problem

[Philip Webb]

Has anyone else seen this or is able to offer advice ?
This has happened  4 times  during 2014 when Xscreensaver was running.
I return to my desk & find a blank X-ish screen & when I hit Enter,
I get a raw terminal announcing the crash ; 'startx' gets things going again.
The screensaver running at the time of the crash was Fluidballs,
a trusty old sub-app which shouldn't be causing a problem suddenly.
 /lib64/libpthread.so.0  is provided by Glibc.

I think your best bet is to send that segfault to Nvidia via their Nvidia -
driver forums. Seems like a driver bug to me and the nvidia guys are the
only ones who can fix it. They'll want to know your kernel version.
