           Summary: xscreensaver won't go away with latest intel driver
                    (regression)
        QA Contact: intel-gfx-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: nbowler at draconx.ca
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: git
         Component: Driver/intel
           Product: xorg

After updating xf86-video-intel to latest git, xscreensaver appears to be
broken.  The screensaver itself works, but the unlock dialog does not render at
all (although the mouse pointer appears).  After entering my password, the
(frozen) screensaver image remains on the screen where the unlock dialog should
have been (obscuring everything on that display).  Switching VTs corrects the
issue.  All of this is 100% reproducible.

The screen which did not try to display the xscreensaver password dialog works
properly.

This issue occurs w/ SNA on a 2-screen Zaphod configuration with a G45 chip,
running Xorg server 1.14.1.  It does not appear to happen on non-zaphod dual
head configurations.
