(Get the code!)
I updated my kernel to 2.6.38-10, which I had hoped would eliminate the problem, but I just had the same freeze while the "fuzzy flakes" screensaver was on. Going to Ctrl-Alt-F1 and using the command:
$killall gnome-screensaver
did not do anything at all. I haven't tried any other fixes yet. I use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart X, which is really not ideal and doesn't always work - sometimes I can see the login screen, and other times it loads the login screen but the screen stays black. I can manoeuvre the mouse cursor to the bottom right corner, click, and use the down button on my keyboard to select Restart, which I have to do from memory as I can't see anything. The computer reboots fine when I do that.
