Hey!!
I have the same laptop so I suffer the same problem.

So, you're kind of sure it's due to screensaver activity.
How did you switch it off?

Thanks a lot.

It seems I've been able to switch off the screensaver, or is it screen blanking, with
sudo xset s off &
Now the laptop doesn't hang.

Hey Atreo,
you should add the line
sudo xset s off &
to .xinitrc startup script. Read how to do it here:

Otherwise you have to type this command into a shell window ("counterpart" to Command Prompt in Windows) everytime you start DSL.
