Everything goes black and the login screen appears after a few seconds. I think there was a glibc update yesterday, and that's probably what broke it. I've been using the same screensaver for weeks, and I have made no other changes recently. I have an NVidia 6600GT card, and I'm using a recent 3D driver from NVidia. Ironically, I have to use this driver because the x.org driver will not display at 1680x1050. That's the other issue I have had with the FC6 upgrade. It seems to insist on displaying 1280x1024, even when 1680x1050 is the ONLY resolution in my config file. Dan >
