Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-geode

    On Ubuntu and Fedora, when the screensaver is opened and then
start(after 1 minute when I set), the screen will be in chaos. Few
seconds later, the screen turns to be black as usual. If the user move
the mouse or press the key, the screen can not be back again. We can not
assure if this bug has been reported in the community.

     You can use the xscreensaver tools link:
http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/download.html. I don’t suggest use the
gnome-screensaver to duplicated the bug on Ubuntu. Because the gnome-
screensaver running on startx-desktop. The xscreensaver is a client
program running on Xorg. When you installed it, you can run
‘xscreensaver-demo’ to setup the screensaver environment, after exit the
demo interface, run ‘xscreensaver -nosplash’ as a Linux common user (su
username), it will start the screensaver after some times.

           In my ubuntu workstation environment, when I used the VESA-
driver, the phenomenon is normal after wait for 1 minute, if you move
the mouse or press the key, the screen can be back again. Once use the
Geode-driver, the screen will be in black after wait for 1 minute, if
you move the mouse or press the key, the screen can not be back again.

    My xf86-video-geode version is 2.11.7, XServer version is 1.7.1
