Screenblanker causing lockups?

Anybody else having problems with the screenblanker causing lockups? For instance I was just in prefs/screenblanker and as soon as I tried to test the Zoom blanker fullscreen it froze the system up entirely. Usually though it happens when I step away from the computer for a time and then the blanker kicks in, and when I come back neither moving the mouse or hitting a key removes the blanker. I have to do a hard reset.

Zoom blanker?

I had problem with the Zoom blanker so I disabled the nice but buggy effect.. But it should'nt suprice me if there more bugs hidden in the code (it is linux code after all).

Try disabling the zoom blanker and se if the problem still is around

The zoom blanker is one that I ported from linux's xscreensaver collection.

Visit my site for now to get it, atleast till I get back home and uploads my updated modules to os4depot

The only problem I hadwith the Zoom blanker is when I drop the horizontal AND vertical size both down to one. I get a Grim, Continue or Ignore (I forget which one) then it's ok. Other than that, Zoom worked fine here.
