screensaver setup = X hang?

[bsoderror]

Is there a fix for this, the only way I have to get out of trying to setup the screensaver is to do a reboot. I have an intel integreated graphics card (on the mb) and heard this was a bug on some of these.

The screen locks, no mouse movement, nothing.

Graphics Controller: Intel 82845G
Adapter string: Intel 82845G /GL/GE/PE/GV controller
Mem Size = 64megs

Are you using the standard mesa graphics? Or have you installed the Intel drivers? have you tried running glxgears or some other 3d application (tuxracer)? (we need to know if it is the screensavers or driver)

I'm not sure about the mesa graphics, whatever came stock with FC1 and then I upgraded to FC2x2.

I haven't installed any drivers in Linux, I did in winxp, but it didn't affect FC1 screensavers. It wouldn't have anything to do with kinux would it?

Never tried glxgears but tuxracer gives me a black screen then some flashes of color and lines in sections of the screen then I need to reboot also. Same as screensaver setup.

Must be the drivers????
Looked at Intel site and didn't find any for linux, hope this is enough info to get started.
Thanx Bana, I appreciate your time and help. Off to work, be back in the morning.
I hate nights! not really
