I have _not_ applied the latest updates, and my gl
screensavers _do_ seem to be working.

(I am running 10.10.)

When I go to System / Preferences / Screensaver, I
get a list of screensaver choices, including various gl
screensavers, and the gl screensaver previews seem
to work correctly.

If there are any experiments or diagnostics you
would like me to try, I would be happy to.  I don't
really care about l screensavers, so that would
include applying the updates to see if anything
breaks.

Best.
