The culprit appears to be xscreensaver-gl. My current combination is: gutsy default intel driver + gnome-screensaver + compiz = working. Peter's intel driver also works. If you are suffering from this bug, check if xscreensaver-gl is installed. If it is, try removing it and then report your results. This may not solve the bug, but it might help isolate it, and provide a useable workaround. Rory On 11/1/07, Rory Grant
