    Re: Screensaver

    You likely do not have a proper driver installed to run the screensavers. What kind of graphics card do you have?
    AMD FX-8120. 8GB DDR3 1866. Ubuntu 12.04 64bit

    I know that certian screensavers are graphics intensive. I had this problem alot when I still used a desktop. May I ask your system specs?
