Thanks for clearing that up. If the used memory is reclaimed afterwards, it is not a kernel driver problem. I would then rather suspect the mesa libraries. Are you able to log in remotely from another computer and run "ps aux" while the screensaver is running? Otherwise please set up the screensaver to run glschool, then have this running in a terminal window while waiting for the screensaver to kick in (also "sleep 2; xscreensaver-command -a" can be used to activate it from another terminal window): while sleep 60; do ps uh $(pgrep glschool) >> /tmp/glschool-ps.log ; done and let it run (up to an hour or until it blanks the screen instead). This will log the memory size to the file /tmp/glschool-ps.log every five minutes, so you can check if it is growing. If it doesn't, replace "ps u $(pgrep glschool)" with "ps aux" so that we log all processes instead. You may raise the 60 second value above to keep log size reasonable if you need to log over longer time.
