From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120 Description of problem: When the system is left unatended for around an hour running xscreensaver, it's been locked up when I came back to it. By locked up I mean that te graphics of the xscreensaver module were not moving, there was no responce to any keyboard or mouse input (including CTL-ALT-BKSP, CTL-ALT-DEL, and CTL-ALT-F1). Further, attempts to telnet to the machine timed out. This suggests to me that xscreensaver cause X itself to hang, but I don't claim to know. I realize that this is not exactly a sufficient bug report to diagnose the problem; it's more a request for guidance: What additional information do you need from me? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a .xinitrc file containing only xterm and xscreensaver. (The problem also occurs in more complicated environments, but this is the most simplified one in which I have experienced it.) 2. Run startx 3. In the xterm, type xscreensaver-command -lock 4. Wait.... Actual Results: After an indeterminate ammount of time (between 10 mins and an hour) the system locked up as described above. Expected Results: The screen saver should have responded to keyboard input, allowing me to enter my password and unlock the terminal. Additional info:
This is most likely an X driver issue. We'd need the X configuration file, and the X startup logs. The output of lspci -v would probably also be helpful.

Is this an Athlon system?
Awaiting response...
