That's correct. 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.
