xscreensaver 6.08 "No GL Visuals" Huh?
by wirelessmc from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FRAW)
This was a recent system upgrade on slackware64-current which included the most recent 6.08 xscreensaver package. I know I should probably send this one to the maintainer (and I will) but since I couldn't find this error reported elsewhere I thought I would strobe a wider audience to see if anyone has observed the frequent crash with the reported error as follows:
Code:No GL Visuals - xscreensaver-gl* packages are requiredI tried rebuilding/upgrading the 6.08 package with "--with-glx" switch, thinking this would most certainly fix the behavior as I have an nVidia graphics card and CUDA/Toolkit is installed on the system (nvidia-smi out below).
This (to my surprise) did not fix it. It is still crashing randomly on certain modes. Please let me know if you have seen this? In the mean time I will reach out to Jamie over at jwz.org and aprise him of this.
Thanks!
