[Techtalk] system logs me out unpredictably

[Robyn M]

Hi Carla

If you're using a screensaver, a 3D screensaver or a 3D graphics driver 
I've had problems with these not 'agreeing' with each other especially 
after a kernel upgrade. Set your screensaver to 1 minute and wait and 
see or play Tux Racer and leave the game running for a while without 
playing it and watch.

Cheers

Robyn
