Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Using KDE Control Center, go to Appearance % Themes, Screen Saver. Then select the Pulsar (GL) screensaver from the list. Actual Results: System immediately freeze (without even pressing Test button), with mouse cursor still moving, but clicks not responding. Keyboard is also frozen, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace not working. Only the hardware reset is possible. Additional info: This screensaver seems to be the only one that causes problems. All other GL-screensavers work, and can be seen fullscreen using the Test button. Used video card: ATI Radeon 64 VIVO.

The problem does not occur after installing XFree86-4.3.0-15.1 packages from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ Pulsar (GL) screensaver works without problem.
Thanks for the update. Setting bug status to "ERRATA" version 4.3.0-2.90.55 which is based off of the rawhide 4.3.0-55 package at the time, and would also contain the same fix present in rawhide.
