I'd like to take one minute to make sure that I am not giving out the wrong impression, I'm simply trying to get to the bottom of the 100% CPU racing condition on screensavers. I'm not knocking any code or anyones coding skills.
I am not reporting any lock-up issues here, I simply wanted to mention that when I installed the above mentioned extra savers, half caused a hard system lock...no mouse, no keyboard. I am hoping to make sure that the linux savers do not burn out anyones CPU resulting from a weekend out of town at the beach while these savers are racing the CPU for 2 or 3 days at full 100% racing. I am really wondering if hardware acceleration is happening with any of the OGL savers to include the common savers being discussed here. This is my hope or wish: I'd like to see some nice savers that actually work but that do not place the CPU at risk of burn up. removing these nice savers will leave some really boring ugly savers. is hardware acceleration really being taken advantage of here ? can we get electricsheep installed by default in working condition to see if it works any better ? I have tried to get Electricsheep installed but I have failed on each occation, I need help, may you all can get it working to see if its CPU friendly ??? I guess I simply cannot understand why OGL savers seem to be so CPU unfriendly ?? what can I do to help work this issue out ? -- 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
