16 Is the screensaver package your having problems with called
17 "x11-misc/rss-glx"?
18
19 Do you have the USE flag "opencl" set in your "make.conf" / or on a
20 "package.use", or not used at all? ( Check eselect setting as well. )
21
22 Do you have the USE flag "xscreensaver" set in your "make.conf" / or on
23 a "package.use", or not used at all?
24
25 Do you have the USE flag "vaapi" OR "vdpau" set in your "make.conf" / or
26 on a "package.use", or not used at all?
27
28 Do you have the VIDEO_CARDS flag "nivida" set in your "make.conf" / or
29 not used at all? ( emerge @module-rebuild ? )
30
31 More info would be helpful in diagnosis.
32
33 I am using Nvidia driver 340.96.
34 I have the USE flags "xscreensaver / opencl / opengl / vaapi" in
35 "make.conf", and VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" in "make.conf".
36 The eselect opencl / opengl is set to nvidia.
37
38 The "x11-misc/rss-glx" screensavers work just fine. I like the
39 "GLMatrix" one.
