Adding the option DID stop the lockups, even though mine were not related to the screensaver.  I still have problems with dual head though. When I restarted X after installing the Livna RPMs it was in "Clone" mode. It appears there are two places to configure the dual head setup. In System Preferences--> Display and in the ATI control pannel. If I set the dual head config in the ATI pannel and then restart X my screen is un readable. I had to Ctl-Alt-Delete to reboot. Can anyone briefly list the steps the used to set up a dual head config with one desktop? I can't imagine it should be this dificult.

Thanks for the info, unfortunately I don't have that in my config file.
Here is mine, anything look out of the ordinary?

    
I don't run a multihead layout so I can't really comment on that. However,
if you are having similar hang problems with screensavers then you should
be able to just add in the option to see if it helps. Eg:

  
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Videocard1"
    Driver      "fglrx"
    VendorName  "Videocard Vendor"
    BoardName   "ATI Radeon 9800"
    Option        "VideoOverlay" "on"
    
      Option      "BlockSignalsOnLock"   "off"
  
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
    Screen      1
EndSection
