I doubt xscreensaver is any default, KDE and probably Gnome have their own forks of it because it doesn't get along with their stuff. Some of the neatest screensavers need OpenGL, there are about 200 different ones, it's been around at least 20 years. It's a framework that brings up contributed pr

Greetings all; One other problem I have that I didn't have when I tried raspian. On raspian, AIGLX worked, and the screen updates were instant, guessing at least 20 frames a second from my linuxcnc application, where there is a slow motion lag, with screen updates estimated at 3 frames a second
