Please try this patch against xscreensaver 5.05 and let me know if it helps?
http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/xscreensaver-randr-patch.txt (Please don't distribute builds incorporating this patch -- it's not tested well enough yet. Consider it a dangerous alpha.) Things I'm interested in hearing about: - Systems with multiple monitors. Do all monitors go black when xscreensaver activates? - Adding and removing monitors while the screen is not blanked. Does it look right once the screen blanks? - Adding and removing monitors while the screen is already blanked. Does everything reconfigure properly? - Changing the resolution of the monitor(s) using the "xrandr" command. - Does it correctly realize which monitors are actually attached to the system and in use? - Does it work with multiple X screens (the :0.1 style)? - Does it work when using the old Xinerama extension instead of RANDR. - Does it work using the VidMode extension to zoom and pan around (that is, "monitor" and "desktop" are different resolutions, via Ctrl-Alt-KP_Plus and KP_Minus.) There is a bug if: - It ever crashes (obviously!) - There is ever a situation where a screen is not completely covered by the xscreensaver windows. (Unless two screens are configured to overlap).
