>Release:        FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
>Environment:

	The computer is a 486 with an old (Pre 1990) ATI video card with 8 mb
ram.  There is one 16mb swap partition and an 8 mb swap file.  I will send you
my kernel configuration if you e-mail me.

	

>Description:

	If the FreeBSD screen saver is loaded (I use blank_saver),
the system will crash after about 10 Hours with the screen saver on.
The problem seems to be a bug in the new syscons driver.

	

>How-To-Repeat:

	type kldload blank_saver then vidcontrol -t 10
and wait for a few hours

	

>Fix:
	I don't have one, but I'll work on it :)
