This may be asking a lot depending upon how many screensavers you have
installed, but I would try going through the screensaver list manually
and see which of the screensavers causes a lockup (I daresay there must
be at least one; it sounds to me like it's a screensaver preview that's
causing the lockup). Once you have it isolated to some subset of the
screensavers, file the appropriate bugs against the radeon driver. Just
a thought,
