hm. There are no similar reports so far. Could you try to run the wine
program from a VGA text console (first do 'xhost +' in an xterm under X
and then 'export DISPLAY=:0' in the text console) and see whether
anything gets output to that console? Also enable nmi_watchdog=2 - which
could print a backtrace of the point of the hard lockup.
but in general there's nothing scheduler-specific about screensavers or
wine - but it could be related to 3D mode of the chip (hence related to
the nvidia module) - do you get a similar lockup if you try to run
'glxgears'?
