    Windows and mac dont' come with many screensavers, yet it is a HUGE
    business. I don't see the problem with having lots of screensavers at
    the users' disposal. Remember that the presence of hundreds of
    screensavers is because of public, free, open source contributions,
    not because some company hired a person and paid them to create screen
    savers. that's a waste of their money, as it isn't a reason for buying
    a particular operating system. Apples and Oranges - the screensavers
    available differ for completely different reasons.

    weird. I have never had a problem running nvidia cards. do you need
    something specific like opengl with directcolor 32bit, or some other
    video mode that's non standard?
