    With xscreensaver, none of my 3D (OpenGL) demos are working. Actually,
    when I first start the xscreensaver daemon, I can then start
    xscreensaver-demo and get exactly one 3D demo to work. After that, no
    3D screensaver works (the 2D/non-GL demos are fine). Furthermore, after
    the one demo has been displayed, the 3D screensaver's won't even show up
    in the preview window of xscreensaver-demo.

    However, if I restart the daemon (xscreensaver-command -restart), I can
    go back into xscreensaver-demo and see (exactly) one 3D demo.

    I have xscreensaver set to cycle demos every two minutes. When
    xscreensaver is actually running, I get two minutes of just black screen
    here and there (as the 3d demos are cycled in).

    I've turned on verbose messaging, and I'm not seeing any errors.

    Other GL applications, such as glxgears, work fine.

    Result of xscreensaver-command -version:
    XScreenSaver 4.12

    I'm running Debian unstable, with a custom 2.4.21 kernel.

    Thanks for any thoughts!
    Matt
