You are right.

Yet its a much smaller group of users that even cares or changes the
screensaver. At least a freshly installed PC with an 'old' ati card or
matrox card won't randomly crash now. I know, the drivers are to blame,
but the drivers don't promise stable 3d support.

And well, I wouldn't know which logs to post that will help fix driver
issues. Perhaps someone can enlighten me? I still have the same bunch of
company pc's running dapper at some clients with old ati and matrox
cards. I fear I need to install some special debug version right? Maybe
I should just track down what is causing the crashes when opengl is
used..
