nvidia xorg: Black screen after 15min

Hi,

I get black screen after 15 min, with the nvidia card.
I dont know what may be wrong. Then I have to cold halt the notebook to restart it afterwards.

alt f1, no way and so one
no mouse, to reactivate the screen

what could it be ?

xorg.conf:

Code:

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)

#

# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using

# values from the debconf database.

#

# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.

# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)

Try adding these options to the device section

Code:

Section "Device"

        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"

        Driver          "nvidia"

        Option          "RenderAccel" "true"

        Option                "NoLogo" "true"

        Option                "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"

        Option                "BackingStore" "true"

        BusID          "PCI:1:0:0"

EndSection

The AllowGLXWithComposite is the main one, as you do have the composite extension enabled, also try enabling DAMAGE and RENDER as well.

The only other thing would be to disable composite, as it may well be the actual culprit.
