I would be the very last person on earth to contradict anyone who has Linux expertise as I have so little that I'm just not going to go there.....however, I have been using Ubuntu since 5.04 and I use only Nvidia cards, and not one single release since 5.04 had good drivers then according to the comment above about it being a driver issue. I have multiple computers with Nvidia cards ranging from NV17 all the way thru NV41 including an Nvidia XFX Geforce 7950 GT. I have used every single driver offered restricted or otherwise including what Envy offers and not one driver then works according to this logic. Rest assured, I thought long and hard about this post, but I just can't agree with the statement that its a driver failure because it is suggested that some cards/drivers work, and others don't. I have no issues at all running any other application that requires acceleration including GoogleEarth, Beryl, Compiz, compiz fuzion, and numerous 3D games on various machines all of witch have Nvidia restricted drivers installed. but for some reason the drivers are failing to render acceleration for the screensavers only ? thats just way too much a jump for me to accept. I can accept that acceleration is failing by looking at CPU usage, yes, but not due to a driver bug, I think it far more likely that the implementation that calls for acceleration in the screensaver is failing. Maybe I'm wrong, won't be the first time, but if acceleration works everywhere else, it just makes no sense to me why it breaks suddenly when its a screensaver being accelerated.
