Description 

The "Atlantis" screensaver option shows, but does not work at all: it just gives a blank screen.

What SHOULD happen, is that you guys should provide a fallback software-based opengl library. This will then allow the Atlantis module, and many other fun modules, to run, albeit slowly.

see

http://www.blastwave.org/packages/xscreensaver

which has all the 3d stuff enabled, even on solaris x86
(but will use a hardware-accelerated /usr/lib/libGL.so if present)

 

======================================================================
Work Around 

select screensaver from the preferences. click on the "Atlantis" line.

no demo is available in the mini-window to the right, AND if you click "preview", it just turns the whole screen black.
