Comment 7 for bug 119688

Jessica, thanks for confirming the bug.

It sounds sort of like an issue with the screensaver. There had been a known bug with certain binary drivers which resulted in 3D (OpenGL) screensavers causing lockups like this. Does this sound plausible?

Alternately, we've had some reports of problems with video drivers, and I notice both of you are using ati cards. Could you each post the output from 'lspci -vv' so we can compare to see if you happen to have the same hardware?
