I don't know.  I tend to class all the fancy ones together.  The
screensaver was 'hypercube'.

no, the only thing worth remarking is Driver "radeon" instead of "ati"

6.8.2

 Did you try the "old" radeon driver in the kernel ?  I'm using the
"new" one, but the old one might be different.  It's taken me some
months to be brave enough to retry xscreensaver because an earlier
version used to lock up one of my boxes a lot more.  In theory, it's a
kernel problem if an application can lock it, but in practice X isn't
your standard well-behaved application.
