All three runs failed mouse position and selection tests, so I made the sheriff back out a blameless patch that seemed vaguely related, but then before his backout ran, talos-r3-w7-015 passed those tests in http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=Firefox/1282330914.1282331746.9799.gz, so given the mouse-and-selection nature of it, now I'd bet on some sort of dialog stuck open.

This machine had the wrong resolution set. I changed it back and gave it a reboot, but that's very concerning....we have a tool we run at boot that's supposed to fix the screen resolution.

Updating summary.

The particular machine mentioned (talos-r3-w7-052) is now fixed, leaving this open for the root problem though

Pretty sure I filed a bug on this and left buildbot disconnected several days ago.

That was bug 586841. There's also bug 581864 on talos-r3-w7-051, and there's bug 553081, where the second set of 20 was apparently ignoring the set-resolution-on-boot thing and using the resolution that the ref image was giving them, so maybe it hasn't ever actually worked to set them?

Seems like a buildduty thing; I'm not going to have time to look at it, personally.

I *think* I fixed this, but then I fat-fingered the poorly-designed integrated shutdown button. I've added talos-r3-w7-051 to the reboot list.

Machine is back up, and yes, it maintains the proper resolution over reboots.

For reference, I had to set the resolution through the NVIDIA control panel to get it to stick.

Slave is connected to talos-master02 again.
