Login screen does not appear over GL-screensavers

[Jean-Philippe Guérard]

When using a GL-screensaver (from xscreensaver-gl or xscreensaver-gl-extra), the login dialog is not displayed any more over the screen saver.

You can still connect, but you have to blindly type-in your password.

This was working fine with Oneiric.

I tried switching from fglrx to fglrx-updates, but the problem remains.

The login dialog is shown correctly over a 2D screensaver.

Thanks.

Thanks for your report. Does this also happen if you use the default open-source drivers (ati instead of fglrx)?

[Jean-Philippe Guérard (fevrier)]

No problem with the ati driver.

Thanks.
