screensaver :(

[Orfeus]

When i m trying to preview some of the screen savers i cannot get them work properly. It seems like a graphics card problem. I m pretty sure that i ve install my card drivers. Any ideas?

2. what screen savers? openGL or non?

Sounds like your graphics drivers are not working correctly.
What does running 'glxinfo | grep direct' say?

[Orfeus]

direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

easy!

first off, install correct drivers.

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common

secondly,

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

For me they only work when in XGL session perfectly, but under regular gnome they lag just a hair

This package is an installer package, it does not actually contain the
JDK documentation. You will need to go download one of the
archives:

jdk-6-doc.zip jdk-6-doc-ja.zip

(choose the non-update version if this is the first installation).
Please visit

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/

now and download. The file should be owned by root.root and be copied
to /tmp.
