Package: nvidia-graphics-drivers
I can reliably trigger the bug by putting "export __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1" in
~/.bash_profile, logout of the console (runlevel 2), log back in, and startx.
Now that KDE has inherited the environment variable, I can start up its
Control Center, click on Screen Saver, click on one GL screensaver (I
recommend blocktube) so that it's little preview starts up, and click to
another screen saver. X almost entirely freezes, ignoring mouse clicks, key
presses, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, Ctrl-Alt-F1 (to console); only the magic Sysrq
commands work (such as Sync,Unmount,Boot). I can still move around the mouse
cursor, which is a new X-failure experience for me.
I am running Sarge with kernel-image-2.4.27-1-686-smp, xfree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8,
and nvidia driver 1.0-6629. Hardwarewise, my PC is a P4 2.4Ghz with
hyperthreading enabled, an i875pbz motherboard, and an Albatron FX 5700 AGP
video card.

This bug was reported against Debian 3.1 "sarge", the Debian release that
predates oldstable "etch" and is no longer being supported, so I'm closing
this bug now.
If you still experience this problem in the current stable release "lenny" or
in unstable, please open a new bug report.
