Comment 2 for bug 60438

Hello from Pensacola FL,

Radeon 9700 Pro, and running hypertorus manually works fine. (Nice looking too! & Now I have some better troubleshooting knowledge). Any individual Screensaver selected (below Random) locks me up. Have to reboot & go into the (finally found) Configuration Editor to reset the selection to Blank or Random, or the system will also lockup when the screensaver operates on time. (I was beginning to think only the system could select individual screensavers and the list was just to let you know what would show up Randomly!)

  Thanks for your bug report. The first one on the list, do you mean the "4D Hypertorus" ?
  >From bug #58963:
  This could be a problem with some 3D screensavers taking down your machine. It is probably nothing wrong with gnome-screensaver itself, but your video drivers. What kind of hardware (esp. graphic card) do you have?

  Can you please try running "/usr/lib/xscreensaver/hypertorus" in a
  Terminal window, and see if it crashes your machine?

  ** Changed in: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu)
