I've upgraded my distro from F33 to F34, F35, and now F36. Zero issues
all the way through except for one weird one. I run Xfce, and I
installed the xscreensaver* packages. I've always done this, and I
uninstalled the xfce4-screensaver package. I like the plain old
xscreensaver packages.

It's not been a problem before (that I recall), but now all of sudden
several screen savers just hammer the CPU. To the point where I can't
even get the popup screen to enter my password to appear. Or after it
appears, it takes MANY seconds for the password to be checked, and it
seems like it's dropping characters because I am reasonably certain I
typed it correctly, but it hangs and I have to wait til the login screen
pops up again.

Anyone else seeing this? Is the only option to go through and test each
one to see if they cause problems, and disable them?

Thanks!

What is wrong with just plain " xset +dpms " ?
Because it is not using cpu and drawing unnecessary images to the screen?

Where's the fun in that? I like the wacky screensavers. 😁
