[ale] KDE screensaver woes

[Stephen F Nicholas]

Hello All,
I might be missing the point here, and if I am tell me to bite it.  I just
reinstalled RedHat 7.2 with KDE on a new pc.  The screensaver kept
crashing the box.  Installed the patches from RedHat for xscreensaver and
the problem disappeared.  Lucky...I don't think so, so my video card is
integrated and uses shared memory (32 MB of 512 MB).  Not the best
situation, but works for me at present.  Just happy to have not used
another PCI slot :-)

Steve
