Listmates,

        One difference I have noticed with kde4 is many (probably 90%) of the 
screensavers don't work for one reason or the other, but work just fine in 
kde3. (Setup Tohsiba P205D, Radeon RS690M [x1200], fglrx driver).

Few Examples include:

        kcontrolcenter previews overlap other windows:

        Normal screen savers (Banner) has artifacts:

        OpenGL screensavers (euphoria) - Lock the screen when activated
        kcometen4-1.0.5 - fireworks/lightning OK, but now background is drawn
        Atunnel - crashes on exit ( ctrl+alt+F1 then ctrl+alt+F7 required)

        What leaves me scratching my head is they all work fine in kde3. 
Generally this stuff is graphics driver related, but when all is good in kde3 
and bad in kde4, that tells me that the kde4 library that interfaces with the 
driver has problems. Does anyone know anything about a kde4 library/fglrx issue 
or anything else that would explain this behavior?
