Seen the same problem in FC1.  Even had a problem with GLxx 
screensavers in a session with a different screen resolution than the 
default X server.  This is with an nVidia card.  I always had problems 
with the ATI card in any session as I couldn't get them to work, even 
with the ATI drivers.

Never spent much time looking into it other than disabling the GL 
based screensavers.
