Screensaver makes computer dive into a never ending loop

[Anders Pamdal]

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

The screensaver named "Garnering" in the swedish translation makes atleast 3 computers I have tried it on hang or dive into a serious loop and a hard reset is the only way out of it.
Problem occurs from atleast Gutsy to to Hardy 64 bit version. I have tested it on AMD, AMD x2 and AMD x4 processors.

Thanks for your report, May you attach your xorg.conf and the result file of "lspci -vvv > lspci.txt" to the report? Also a few steps in order to trigger the bug are needed, thanks in advance.
