** Description changed: - the current selection doesn't contain any 2D screen savers; on hardware, - which doesn't support 3D graphics, that's just annoying. the screen - saver disables any power management and makes the computer behave like a - vacuum cleaner. - - proposed solution: - - include 2D screen savers (and mark them as not CPU intensive) - - run screen saver nice'd, so it doesn't influence power management + gnome-screensaver may randomly select an OpenGL screensaver, even if + hardware acceleration for OpenGL is unavailable. When that is the case, + it results in extremely poor performance and high CPU utilization + inappropriate for a screensaver.
