I run into that with i830 video (really 845).  Symptomps are pretty
simple.  You try to start anything using openGL, like glxgears or
any GL based screensaver,  and there is an instant lockup with no
traces in logs and only a power switch still working.

This is an extra fun with xscreensaver.  With a "random screen
saver" you will notice first that you have a dead machine after some
period of not using a keyboard.  Sooner or later but every time.  If
you will try to use GUI to turn off offending programs then touching
a checkbox turns such program on and you have a dead machine again. :-)

It seems to me that an additional clarifying information would
be appreciated there.  Anyone?
