random crashes Fedora13/Xscreensaver/Nvidia : how to debug?

[Jouk Jansen]

Hi all,

Since a few weeks my Fedora13 system crashes ans reboots at least once a day.
It always happens when I'm not there and xscreensaver is running hacks. The
machine is a HP-compaq8710 (Nvidia quadro graphics) laptop with an external
screen configured in twin-view mode. So xcreensaver displays 2 different
hacks at the same time. (other machines with different
hardware-configurattions run fine with the same software) 
When switching screen-saving off or only use it in blank-screen mode only,
I do not suffer from the crashes.

How can I fin out which hacks are running at the time of the crash, in order
to get some feeling for what is wrong on the machine.?
