xscreensaver 4.14
 

I'm running Redhat 9.0 shrike opengl is being accelerated everywhere but xscreensaver. Why am I not getting Opengl acceleration through xscreensaver 4.14?

Try playing with the -delay setting of the GL hacks. I found that for some, the default delay was simply too high for my card (GeForce2 MX) and it didn't appear to be accelerated at all. superquadrics is a good example of this. I'm using "-delay 0" in it's command line arguments.

If changing the delay doesn't help, use ldd to verify which libraries the screensaver executables were linked against.

I had to remove a previous mesa installation, to get it to work finally, but the screens delay every 3 seconds....accelerated but delayed, any idea where a delay in mesa could be corrected, would it be my monitors refresh rate, or videocards timing?

I'm running a Nvidia Geforce 2 gts and Mesa lib 6.0 , with xc 4.3.99. I didn't notice the delay before I upgraded x11 but I've also changed my monitor settings since then and I not sure if this delay in the mesa 3dmodeling is from the monitor probe change or the x11 upgraqe...I hopeing its Mesa, Mesa is easier to compile.
