Summary changed to:
    Solid hangs in VIA glx code
Description changed to:
    Recognized something!  My screensaver is back on!  I disabled it to
    black screen earlier because the GLX code in the partial Via driver
    for my video chipset causes hard kernel freezes.  Something turned
    it back on, apparently upgrading the screensaver package thought
    this a good idea.

    I have disabled random screen savers.

    ==Original description follows==
    If I run rhythmbox for a half hour or so listening to music, eventually the system suddenly freezes.  Keyboard buttons can't mess with the LEDs; ping doesn't reach the machine; mouse doesn't work; disk activity stops; and the last frame of audio loops so I hear the same 20-50mS of sound over and over and over.

    I'm on an emu10k1 based SB audigy.

    Machine is Socket 754 Athlon 64 Newcastle 2800+, not overclocked.

    1024MB of ram.

    Running in 32-bit protected mode on the i686 2.6.15-13 kernel.
