Brian May pointed out to me that one of the X screen savers will also trigger
this, Brian, which one is it?
I solved the problem on my laptop by using the frame-buffer X server and the
VESA frame buffer driver. Brian unfortunately doesn't have this option
because the vesafb driver doesn't support 1400x1050 (I only have a 1024x768
display which is well supported by vesafb).
Is there any work on a savagefb driver?
