I got a mac mini with c2d cpu and Xubuntu inteprid.
I have tried 64 bit, 32 bit, ubuntu, xubuntu, hardy, inteprid.
ALL mixed together, like 64, xubuntu, inteprid.
I got screensaver turned off, I even uninstalled gnome-screensaver, I got power-saving stuff turned off as well.

My issue is that my screen freezes up, and get's a certain colour depending on what I was looking it, usually it is black, but it has been beige and white as well.
Sound is ok, and I can still use irssi through SSH as normal.
but my screen is black/white/beige/whatever and not even restartin X/GDM helps.
I i have tried xset dpms off and on, and I have tried sudo X -configure or sudo configure -phigh xserver-xorg and etc.
Still no help
This happends when I watch movies.

I have tried VLC and Xbox media center, both time it occurs.
Sound is also way low, and yes I have yanked up all the sound settings, but thats for another thread or search.

I am using the LATEST kernel, that is 2.6.27-8-generic
And latest drivers.

IS there a fix for this, and if it is, how do we do we implement it :/
It's odd that no one in the channels have ever heard of this issue, it's very annoying.
