Hi, as i told earlier, the keyboard doesnt respond at all. Neither text
consoles not those magic ``Alt+SysRQ+B'' keys work. I'll however put this
machine on public ip and ask a friend to ssh in. I'm pretty much sure this
has something to do with opengl and/or my graphics card. Meanwhile, i'm
upgrade screensaver packages as suggested.
