Re: Fighting with the screensaver.

[Andrew Lutomirski <amluto gmail com>]

On my system, whatever xorg-xserver version F11 used interacted badly
with intel to cause all kinds of things to reset the LUTs.  For
example, resuming, switching VTs, and even starting glxgears or okular
(!).

This has been fixed upstream and in F12.
