Seen the same problem in FC1. Even had a problem with GLxx
screensavers in a session with a different screen resolution than the
default X server. This is with an nVidia card. I always had problems
with the ATI card in any session as I couldn't get them to work, even
with the ATI drivers.
Never spent much time looking into it other than disabling the GL
based screensavers.
