This perhaps is not the correct forum (for xscreensaver problems). Please redirect me to a better one if it's not.
I have built XFree86 with the XDirectFB patch so that I can run X on
my DirectFB display. xscreensaver no longer seems to want to do it's
thing however. What I get when I run it in verbose mode is:

and so and so on. As you can see, it no sooner starts the screensaver
but it unblanks the screen and starts all over again.
