Bug Description
Binary package hint: xscreensaver
This bug happens when screensaver is starting - automatically or in preview - System-
System doesn't respond on any keyboard or mouse actions (I also cannot switch to console mode with Ctrl-Alt-F1...). I can only restart.
It happens when selecting Anemone or Antinspect screensavers - I don't want to try other screensavers because I don't want to restart each time.
I removed xscreensaver and I got only gnome screensaver. So, please fix it or remove this package as outdated.

Thank you for your bug report.
Hmm. This sounds like a kernel bug (a user program like xscreensaver shouldn't be able to lock up the keyboard and stop caps lock working).
Marcin:
Does running a screensaver like /usr/lib/ xscreensaver/ glmatrix also cause a lockup? Could you also attach (using the Add Attachment link at the left of the launchpad website) your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
file?
