Hey,
After a recent update to Slack64 current, GL xscreensavers cause KDE to crash every single time they are run. The crash actually happens as the screensaver exits (ie it runs fine until a mouse or keyboard event, then crashes).
As I said this is a fairly new problem. I think it started happening after a recent update (but not the most recent one), though it may just be I didn't notice it before because I hadn't run any GL screensavers.
I'm using the i915 Intel module.
Any ideas?

Reason: add sentence about when the problem started
KDE 4.5.5 (Slackware 13.37) or my own KDE 4.6.1 ?
I have the same issue, on i915 driver, with GL screensavers, but only in KDE 4.6.1 (I do not run 4.5.5)... I also tested the same screensavers in XFCE, but they are fine there.
These zero-day packages, combined with 2.6.38.2 and your KDE-4.6.1 works fine for me, with a i915G / an G31 (embedded)-video.
If you are amazed about the MESA's package size, don't worry! It's true! It have 36,788KB. You just see the future of MESA, Gallium with all jingles & bells, including LLVM & Co.
EDIT: I forgot to upload the source packages too. Now are there.
