Created attachment 737953 [details] emerge --info After update from x11-misc/xscreensaver-5.45-r4 to x11-misc/xscreensaver-6.01-r3 all GL screensavers are crashing with SIGABRT and wiat a message similar to: $ /usr/lib64/misc/xscreensaver/glslideshow glslideshow: eglCreatePlatformWindowSurface failed: window 0x4800002 visual 0x24 Aborted (core dumped) Non-GL screensavers (e.g. xmatrix) are not affected. If GL a screen saver comes up in DE it just shows a red print such as "glslideshow crashed with SIGABRT". I only managed to get a semi-meaningful backtrace without debug symbols: $ gdb GNU gdb (Gentoo 10.2 vanilla) 10.2 ... (gdb) file /usr/lib64/misc/xscreensaver/glslideshow Reading symbols from /usr/lib64/misc/xscreensaver/glslideshow...

I found this thread on Arch Linux forums, it seems to describe a problem just like mine: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=266841. There's also a bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/71123 and a thread on NVIDIA forum: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/390-143-eglcreateplatformwindowsurface-causes-bogus-egl-bad-display-error/179820. Since this problem doesn't seem to have a simple solution, would it be possible to at least restore x11-misc/xscreensaver-5.45-r4, as it seems it's already been deleted?
Greetings, I can confirm this issue with some additional info; It seems it might be an issue with the current change in XScreenSaver to prefer EGL over GLX. I just downloaded the latest source for version 6.0.2 from https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/ and configured with the following: ~/build/xscreensaver-6.0.2/xscreensaver-6.02 # ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-elogind --with-pam --with-gl --with-glx --with-pixbuf --with-xft Then, I ran `make && make install`, and now the GL screensavers are working as expected. I hope that helps.
@arcctax: I am also running the 390.144 driver from NVidia. HTH.
