Subject: [gentoo-user] Xscreensaver fails to start

1 I just updated to the latest Xscreensaver-6.01-r1.
2
3 If it starts at reboot, individual savers crash
4 with a screen box saying '<module> crashed with Status 1'.
5 If I stop the daemon, then restart it from CLI, I get :
6
7 xscreensaver-systemd: 10:15:26: user bus connection failed: No such file or directory
8 xscreensaver: 10:15:26: pid 15832: xscreensaver-systemd exited unexpectedly with status 1
9
10 I emerged it with USE flag 'elogind' & don't use Systemd.
11 'which xscreensaver-systemd' finds nothing
12 nor can I see any helpful messages in a file in /var/log .
13 I have set the binary's permissions to SUID :
14
15 root:526 /usr/bin> ls -l xscreensaver
16 -rws--s--x 1 root root 51880 Aug 31 07:18 xscreensaver
17
18 Can anyone offer advice ?
