Thanks, that was my problem.  It works now.

I see that Xscreensaver still has problems, it reports "libGL error:
drmMap of framebuffer failed" when I start the demo mode. That must be a
problem of the daemon.  When I start the savers individually from
/usr/X11R6/bin/xscreensaver-hacks, they run fine in hardware GL mode no
problem.

Yes, it is loaded automatically.  I just loaded it manually to
troubleshoot, looking for the drm0: line.

Thanks for your quick help.
