I'm using the stock xscreensaver wich is compiled with GL...  However
I have all GL applications disabled (I always disable them through
xscreensaver-demo), however it doesn't matter.  As long as I launch
xscreensaver-demo  I get FS corruption and system frozen...  And if by
any reason I get the screen locked (that's the main reason I use
xscreensaver) I get the FS corruption and can't do anything...

I'm about to get from AUR xautolock, and use xlock with blank screen
or matrix, :-)  I'll see if can get myself included in the bug report,
so I can get updated automatically...

Thanks,
