Bug Description
My laptop has
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
My screensaver options are random screen saver that starts after 2 minutes and, as power management, monitor pauses after 20 minutes idle.
When my screensaver starts, after some minutes my system freezes (screen saver stop to animate) and the only solution is to ctrl_alt_canc and then enter (however I don't see anything when I press this key combination).
Another time, when I scrolled various screen saver from system -> preferences -> screen saver and selected GLSlideshow the system freezes (the only solution was to switch off the power of my laptop)

I'm getting something similar on a HP zd8000 with ATI Radeon x300. The system freezes when the screen saver is active, resulting in a slightly smeared display. No response from the system, however I can occasionally get the system to respond by pressing power button and going to sleep mode and back.
I've noticed some PAM errors in the user.log. (attached) Not sure if they are relevant, but there appear to be in gnome-screensaver. Also, I've never seen a unlock screen dialog.
