A workaround that works for me and another guy I told about it, and it works for a similar problem I had with gnome, too. Turn off the kde screensavers. Then run xscreensaver in the startup (.xsession or .xinitrc). Use that. It has mostly the same ones. They look slightly different on some, but they work just as well. Even the GL stuff. Plus, for me, it was easier because I can manually add picture slideshows and other things to it. I even had one awhile back calling the kde screensavers as well, basically adding about 1/3 more and getting the kde look, too. And, the ones giving problems in kde no longer gave me any problems. > Janyne Kizer wrote: > > > > I have had several people report the following error to me when > > testing our RH 7.2 system using KDE 2.2.1. > > > > "Failed to obtain license for GLX" > > > > This message seems to come up when the screen saver starts.
