computer locks when entering screensaver

[David Wilkinson]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

release 9.10
The screensaver starts to function OK by fading the screen, once screen is fully black the keyboard or mouse will not bring the the PC out of screensaver mode. I.E. the PC is locked and needs reboot.
The PC locks if you enter System>preferences>screensaver in the same manner.
There is no way to disable default value of screensaver and reset to 'no screensaver' as a work round.
Cheers
David Wilkinson

my computer also locks up with blinking vertical lines acrorr the top. The only way to get back online is to unplug the hard drive

This is not a bug in the ubuntu-docs package. I'll move the bug to gnome-screensaver as a starting point.
