[Bug 60438] Re: Changing Screen Saver locks up entire system

[Donald E. Smith]

Hello from Pensacola FL,

Radeon 9700 Pro, and running hypertorus manually works fine.  (Nice
looking too!  & Now I have some better troubleshooting knowledge).  Any
individual Screensaver selected (below Random) locks me up.  Have to
reboot & go into the (finally found) Configuration Editor to reset the
selection to Blank or Random, or the system will also lockup when the
screensaver operates on time.  (I was beginning to think only the system
could select individual screensavers and the list was just to let you
know what would show up Randomly!)

  Thanks for your bug report. The first one on the list, do you mean the "4D Hypertorus" ?
  >From bug #58963:
  This could be a problem with some 3D screensavers taking down your machine. It is probably nothing wrong with gnome-screensaver itself, but your video drivers. What kind of hardware (esp. graphic card) do you have?

  Can you please try running "/usr/lib/xscreensaver/hypertorus" in a
  Terminal window, and see if it crashes your machine?
