Hi
I again made the mistake of activating the screensavers as random.----Problem was--Gibabyte Gforce 8400 GS nvidia card.
Left the system for a couple of hours and it was Dead as a Doornail, with a silly frozen screensaver image, namely Particle Fountain GL, looking at me. Other screensavers do it too, eg fireworks, so now blank screen only and hope this can't freeze.
Only a reset was possible, system was not responding to anything and lost some stuff I was doing grr.
So beware Hardy screensavers in KDE 3.5.9 are deadly eye candy that should not be installed as
they are. They should be pulled from the repos until they are fixed.----
Sorry I am a bit peeved about being caught out yet again in Hardy.
