xscreensaver causes random hangs (nvidia)
hello all,
i'm posting here since i got a feeling the problem is related to the
my amd64 setup rather than xscreensaver itself. the problem is, like
the title suggets, is that xscreensaver hangs randomly (but
frequently), most of the times to the point where i have to restart
the computer. it may be mentioned that during the normal runs of the
screensavers, i notice hiccups or glitches in the graphics - the
animation freezes for a fraction of a second and then resumes. anyone
can confirm or (preferably) has a way to solve, other than not using
xscreensaver?
thanx,
avishai.
