Once the video freezes you have no idea if the 'workaround' kicked in or not. I can SSH in via my tablet since all the system is still active. That's the only way I can effectively capture any log files and reboot. The 'Hangcheck...' error only seems to appear if I start XScreensaver running at other times the video will freeze with no errors noted at all. > > > > I was able to reproduce this yesterday by starting XScreensaver at > > 9:43am and at 13:44pm the video froze giving the above error.
