dri xscreensaver/kernel lockups

[Pekka Savola <pekkas netcore fi>]

Hi,

A huge number of (probably DRI -related) xscreensaver lockups (especially 
with screensavers with a lot of 3D effects) have been reported in the 
past; check a list e.g. from:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=84214

(I tried to collect a few I found there).

1) have folks tested whether these still persist in Fedora Core as well?

2) is there any hope of getting these bugs fixed?
 b) if one wants a workaround, just simply removing "too flashy" 
screensavers might help .. but then the bugs would not get fixed ;-)
