Aquarium, suspend screen bug?

igalan · 07-16-2002, 03:35 AM

Hello,

I have recently found this beautiful screen saver

. I just changed the Seti@Home for Aquarium, but I have a problem: The screen saver works fine, and after 15 min of inactivity the screen goes into suspend (as I've set), but when trying to get back to normal state, the monitor activates properly, but the screen is corrupted

. There's no way to fix this but pressing ctrl-alt-del until reboot (the computer isn't completely frozen).
Preventing that the screen goes into suspend is the only work around (either from the screen saver properties, or from power options), but I would like to allow the screen to suspend. Any help will be appreciated

.

I had this too some times ago, but not with Jim's screensaver...

I have this problem only when Aquarium is used as screen saver

. With all other screen savers (As I said, I had Seti@Home) I can set the screen to suspend, or suspend the whole system with no problems after resuming for normal operation

.
There is a new set of drivers for nVidia (30.30) but I'll wait for the official release, the 29.80 are fast and very stable for my system (apart for this problem with Aquarium).

I guess my problem is, I usually just turn off the monitor when I step away from the computer for more than 10 minutes so have never had the desire to risk standby on the PC or the monitor.

Standby really only works smoothly on laptops in my experience.

I does work flawless on my computer, and I use the suspend option often (when I don't need the computer for more than 1 hour, this is better than a complete shut down). Nevertheless it hasn't worked always, only after the updates that I did three or four months ago (I keep all the drivers as updated as possible).
However I believe that I don't have this problem with my nootebook
