openGL screensavers use DRI, the other screensaver only use 2d
acceleration that is provided by X server. Depending on which
screensavers do not work you can start to investigate one thing or
another.
I guess you are talking about openGL stuff since bubble3d uses openGL.
Just to verify: even if you maximize window (so that it is practically
on the full screen) it is smooth, as opposed to fullscreen which is
choppy, right?

looks ok.
how do you run it fullscreen? if you just run it with -root option it
is in root window and looks ugly (blinkig and choppy). Are you using
xscreensaver to run it?
