Subject: [xscreensaver-gl] "flurry" hack causes the whole system to freeze

Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2008 09:45:13 -0500

Package: xscreensaver-gl
Version: 5.05-1
Severity: serious

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

I leave my personal workstation accessible at all times, as many
people do. Every now and then, I find it has frozen - Probably once a
week or so. The culprit is always the "flurry" hack - When I come
back, I have Flurry on my screen, with some memory corruption
(i.e. blocks, usually around 100x20 guesstimated pixels, with
seemingly random colors but each of them with a single color, and with
random-like patterns in them between the base color and the black
background). 

The hack runs fine for some time, at least - it's not an easy to
predict lockup. Of course, I decided to better uncheck this hack from
my xscreensaver preferences... 

lspci reports that my graphic card is:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

No other hacks (or 3D effects - I'm not a Compiz user, but have used
it to show it off) cause this behaviour.

Thanks for your report. The problem has also been reported in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224065

For now, we'll demote flurry to the -extra package so that it is not
installed by default.

This is done in the git-version, I'll reassign this bug to xss-gl-extra
when that version gets uploaded.

Hi Ana,

Of course, I was just waiting to get it uploaded as well with the new
patch for other issues of xscreensaver, this weekend is the deadline for
getting it ready and working, so with what's done already xscreensaver
will be sent to a sponsor to get uploaded.

Thanks for asking :)
Regards.
