Per comment #4, I just downloaded 10.10 Alpha 2 and ran in live mode on
a Dell 2350 with the Intel  82845G/GL integrated adapter.  I was able to
lock up X by going to Preferences -> Screensaver,  and selecting the
AntSpotlight screen saver.  After just a second or two, my system hung.
The pointer still moves, but X doesn't respond to any input.

I have been trying to re-purpose several old Dell 2350 and 2400 PCs.
The 2400s actually have I have been having the problem with X locking up
randomly.  I eventually found that I could crash the system by the above
AntSpotlight screen saver.  I installed an nVidia PCI graphics adapter
on one of the 2400s, and this resolved the problem.
