[Bug 575982] Re: X crashes screen goes between blank and black and white straps. display

 

this crash of x seems to be triggered when ever screensaver kicks in or
when i go to change some/any screensaver related setting. Sometimes it
happens when i am casually surfing net. So i have done this.

sudo killall gnome-screensaver
gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/screensaver/start_screensaver false

screensaver still did not stop appearing so i did

sudo chmod -x /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver

now crashes are few are far between but none the less they happen
regularly. Specially if i leave computer ideal for 10-20 mins doing
nothing.

Before lucid i could not even once use ubuntu because of x freezes. This
time it is crashing but at least responding to shutdown button press.
Hope you guys fix this issue soon too.
