In my experience, xscreensaver is going to give the 3d hardware a much
more extensive workout than any given game. Maybe this has changed in
the latest Rawhide (I haven't checked) but it used to be that a Gnome
install came with the full complement of 3D savers.
Also, more people run screen savers than tuxracer, so that's where the
video driver crashes tend to occur. Then they blame me and I am sad.
Don't feel sad, read DRI source code, and shift the blame accordingly :-)
On a serious note, in my experience 3d screensaver crashes have been
driver problems _every_ time I've looked into them, whether its been
DRI, or binary drivers.
