Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop
As dapper has no option to disable single xscreensaver hacks, the only way to disable opengl screensavers is to remove xscreensaver-gl package. This package removes ubuntu-desktop, which is undesirable.
In my opninion this "breaks" defualt install on non-accelerated machines (most?), especially on laptops.
And also it's very difficult for an unexperienced user to find a solution. (On the other hand it would be equally difficult for an unexperienced user to add opengl screensavers if they were disabled by default).
So, if you have no hardware opengl (like SiS graphics - many laptops use this) you are left with options like:
- removing ubuntu-desktop
- burning CPU fan
- blank screen
- single screensaver
