Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

Shortly after upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 I found that my Dell D610 laptop was locking up. On further investigation I found that it happens within a few minutes of my screen saver (ant-headlight) activating and seems independent of other user apps that are running.

Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. I would firstly like to ask what specific problems you are facing when your laptop 'locks up' and whether you are facing the same problems with different screensavers or just with the ant-headlight screensaver.

Secondly, after your laptop 'locks up' are you able to enter the Linux terminal by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1?

You may also want to look at this page for possible solutions to your problem: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Other

Thanks.

When it locks up the machine responds to nothing including Ctrl-Alt-F1.
I've tried a few of the other screen savers but could not get any of them
to work. Ant-headlight is also inconsistent in its operation but when it
does run it always locks the machine.

I have same problem. Dell Inspiron N5010, ATI 5650 card proprietary drivers. I leave laptop turned on and I find it frozen after few min ( 1min blank screen, 5 min standby ). Screen is completely blank ( like turned off ), processor seems to be in some kind activity ( fan is working hard ). Ctrl Alt F1 does not work.
