Also, run 'xscreensaver-command -prefs', pick the 'Graphic Demo' that
you think goes slow in fullscreen, say 'Bubble3d'.
Click 'Demo'. Does it run slow? Probably, since it is launched in the
same way as it does when it is run as a screensaver.
Now, here's the trick; fiddle with the 'Visual' setting. Try 'GL',
'Default', 'Any', 'Best' or any of the other alternatives, until you
feel that the fullscreen is accelerated.
Do this for every other OpenGL screensaver that you might have
actived.
