So I see the saga continues, 8.04 is shipped with open-gl screensavers
by default, so I constantly have to restart X... (see

In feisty: It seems by default the screensavers are set to just blank
the screen now.
But its been a while since I installed feisty. Can some one confirm
this?
Then we can close this bug..
Black screen by default seems a very acceptable solution.
It just means that with a default installation
Then we can close this bug..
IMO, the bug would still be valid, because if the screensaver is set to
Random it should not cause extreme CPU utilisation.

gnome-screensaver should currently be set to the floating ubuntulogo
screensaver by default ... that fixes the symptom for fresh installs,
but indeed the bug is still present ...

You are right.
Yet its a much smaller group of users that even cares or changes the
screensaver. At least a freshly installed PC with an 'old' ati card or
matrox card won't randomly crash now. I know, the drivers are to blame,
but the drivers don't promise stable 3d support.
And well, I wouldn't
Yet its a much smaller group of users that even cares or changes the

I don't agree, I find many people are impressed by the included screensavers,
and it's one of the first thing a curious desktop user would like to customize
and play with...

Rodrigo, could you have a look at this long-standing issue and see if
something can be done for Feisty? The upstream bug has an outline of
what needs to be done, but it's a low priority for them.

I have had several matrox, intel and ati based graphics cards that with
the default install would CRASH upon about half of the opengl-
screensavers.
If the screensavers that require 3D are in seperate packages, why are
they even installed by default and/or available on a live-desktop. This

So, this is your hardware or upstream xorg drivers bug.
If the
No, this is a buggy hardware or buggy upstream drivers issue, because
system should never crash - stability should never depend on some
software, which user can start, like 3D game or screensaver.
It's both an packaging issue of opengl as well as driver issue with
xorg. Its that the

Okay, meanwhile, why does ubuntu ship a screensaver by default? Why not
just blank the screen?! And this applies ESPECIALLY to the liveCD. The
screensaver does not start during the install (as I previously suggested
in some other bug) but it still starts in normal operation in the
liveCD. It uses
I've forwarded this upstream, and changed the title accordingly (since
2D savers have been in for quite some time):
