Oh yes, those screensavers are in the rss-glx package, which is also installed by default... I'll reassign to that package. I guess some of these are not really suited as screensaving in their default settings.
However if they are a problem both on WIndows and Linux which shares much of the same driver code, then the problem can really be this driver code, right? At least if these savers do not spin the CPU when used with other drivers and cards. BTW, we should not mix to many things here, 100% CPU is another issue than lock-ups and crashes, although there's usually some correlation. ** Changed in: rss-glx (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: xscreensaver => rss-glx -- screensavers cause high CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174191 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
