You have a 3D Hardware Acceleration adapter (the "direct rendering: Yes"
line tells us that).

What happens when you go to "System" --> "Preferences" --> "Screensaver"
and selecting "Only One Screen Saver" from the drop-down menu, and
choosing, say, "Atlantis" from the available screen-savers and then
either:
      * clicking "Preview" or
      * selecting "Lock Screen" from the "System" main menu?
("Atlantis" is a 3D screen-saver in case you didn't know.  You could
choose any other 3D screen-saver you want.)

Tell us what you get.
