Does CPU use seem to go way up when xscreensaver starts?
No. The problem seems to be with the 3-D savers :
Gkrellm shows heavy use of 1 CPU (out of 8 ) at a time when they run.
Is glxgears running as it should ?
I can't find an executable or pkg called 'glxgears',
but the saver called 'gears' small preview runs at 60 fps ,
but the big preview runs at 14 fps ;
previously, the latter also did 60 fps .
These findings harden my suspicion that the *GL* stuff (of which I have
only the minutest clue) is broken for you.
Do install the mesa-progs package that Dale found and run glxgears. It
should have almost no effect on CPU use if things are working right.
What does "eselect opengl list" show?
