[ubuntu-uk] Issues after upgrade to 8.10 - screen saver

[Roger Leyland]

Hi

My first post here, but I watch a lot!

I had the same problem with a lock up when the screen saver kicks in, but with
8.04 immediately after using envyng-gtk to install the latest ATI drivers.  Not
only were the drivers no good for 3D but the screensaver problem occured. Maybe
its a driver rather than 8.10 problem?
