    With the debug of xscreensaver (client program). I found that if
eschewing “fade to black when blanking”. (the xscreensaver old version
<5.0). The screensaver is properly display on Gnome-desktop. The
specifically methods is modified the xscreensaver sourcecode (windows.c
-> raise_window function). If your xsceensaver version >= 5.0, then you
can setup the dialog box “System -> Preferences -> Screensaver ->
Advanced”, Not click the “fade to block when blanking” option. If the
fading is true (Default: true), then when the screensaver activates, the
current contents of the screen will fade to black instead of simply
winking out. This only works on certain systems. A fade will also be
done when switching graphics hacks (when the cycle timer expires.).

    So through this method and setup, Now the screensaver is properly
display on our Geode platform. The next phase, I will research the
“fading” function is whether or not affected the parts of geode driver,
then taking a deep research into other bugs reported in the community.

** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed
