Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
running 2.6.27 with latest intrepid.
I have gnome screensaver configured to use "blank screen" and to lock the screen. When it activates and the screen fades out, X seems to lock up. Keyboard input is ignored (including magic sysrq keys) and the only option is to power off.
(Some suggestion has been made that the machine itself is still alive, and that it's possible to ssh in).
As a test, I tried switching to a screensaver which does display something (Flurry). When the screen faded out, X crashed and returned me to a gdm prompt. The Xorg.0.log.old doesn't have any useful information about the crash though, just some messages about AIGLX switching VT. I have attached it anyway.
I'm wondering if this is somehow related to bug 261101
