So far everything looks good in Sid.  I installed the xscreensaver-gl
package and I can start various GL screensavers without the machine
locking up.

It may be interesting to note that two weeks ago I upgraded the
hardware to an IBM M50 which is a P4 @ 2.88 GHz, but I moved the Radeon
video board over to it.  Here is the reportbug info:
