Hi Mark, esd doesn't appear to be running, there are a few processes with gnome (-session, -terminal, -smproxy, -name-service, -pty-helper) running, but I'm not sure if this is what you were asking. The sound is AC '97 Audio (it's an emachines T1860). The apmd daemon was running. I did chkconfig apmd off and the machine hasn't locked up yet (it's been running 3 days, Day 1 and 2 ampd was running and the machine locked after some idle time, Day 3 with no apmd it is still OK). A brief search prior to my posting the question suggests that the problem is with the graphics. It uses S3 ProSavage8, and I had to use an upgraded savage_drv.o module just to get X running (from http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html). I have seen some reports suggesting a possible correlation between screensaver lockup and this driver. A recent experience with a hp zt1155 laptop install (which also needed the updated savage_drv.o driver) lends weight to this correlation.
