[plug] X freezes,

[Rob Dunne]

Hi list,
         well I found the solution. 

the problem
The symptoms were that after a few hours X would be using 99%
of the CPU and the keyboard would be frozen. All I could see was
the screensaver. I could however log in remotely.

the solution
It was always the same screensaver! I have now set the machine to
no screensaver, the screen just goes black (it was set to random) 
-- and have no problems.


That is a pretty mean sceen saver that kills a machine!!
