It would be helpful to get some more info about this. It could be an
instability which shows up when you have OpenGL stuff running for a very
long time. In this case setting a lower AgpMode in XF86Config[-4] and/or
turning of AgpFastWrite may help. It could also be a problem that is
triggered by one specific screen saver demo. In that case you should try
to narrow it down and give more information about the circumstances of
the crash (which demo, what exactly happens, suspicious log entries if
any).
