[Bug 62093] Computer locks up

[Mike2005]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu error report:

I am running Ubuntu v6.06 LTS. I just have to congratuations on a
wonderful operating system. I just can't get enough of it - however I
have spotted an error.

The screen saver regularly crashes the computer. It locks up the screen,
no activity from the screen saver and the mouse pointer freezes. I have
to reset and reboot.

It seems to have a problem when making selection between screensavers.
This occurs when selecting the screen saver you want in
System->Prefrences->Screensaver. I also can't run random screensaver
selection.

I have a Gigabyte K8 Triton GA-K8VM800M mother board (rev 2) with 512MB
of ram and an AMD Sempron 2.8GHz CPU. The whole computer is not that old
(two months) and I haven't noticed any hardware errors.

It didn't crash with the previous version 5 of Ubuntu.
