I had similar problems with APM turned on in the BIOS. See if it is turned on. For me it would lock up when the screensaver activated. Turning off APM fixed it. I'm sure there's a way now days to use APM safely in Linux, but I always just disable it.
I don't think it is the APM (it is disabled AFAIK - but I'll check) But I did have a similar problem with specific screensavers under RedHat - that is fixed now. I was thinking a bit more and there is one other common factor to my freezes: One or other GNOME app is running. Could be that GNOME is unstable (or one of the libs) I remember having problems with Ximian GNOME a while back on RH - Ximian fixed this. Does anybody have problems with GNOME apps freezing? -- Andre Truter Software Engineer Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 AIM: trusoftzaf http://www.trusoft.za.net <-------------------------------------------------> < The box said: Requires Windows 95 or better... > < So I installed Linux > <------------------------------------------------->
