I can confirm this on an Intel chipset. I have two laptops - a Sony Vaio
with an Nvidia card, and a Dell Vostro V13 with an Intel card.
Screensaver works perfectly fine on the nvidia system, and not once has
a freeze happened. The freezes were happening every time with the Intel
one, until I disabled the screensaver.

I can also confirm this with both 32-bit and 64-bit Natty Narwhal. I had
32-bit Natty on both systems, and I replaced them with 64-bit Natty on
both. The nvidia works fine without freezes, while on the other one I
haven't yet tried enabling the screensaver.

I do not think it has anything to do with a video application or banshee
or whatever, since it has happened with me plenty of times when I have
not been using anything other than emacs and evince. It definitely seems
to be related to the xorg-xserver-video-intel driver.
