Xscreensaver Issues on Fresh Install .

[altman]

Seems I can t settle Xcreensaver after several attempts on new fresh LL 2.2 Finale install I did today even if I changed parameters & after had it removed & reinstalled , a 1st with xscreensaver issue on my end .

Run it from terminal maybe to see any errors?

I am posting from my Salix Slackware 14.1 Netbook. I checked on my xscreensaver on it and found the tab showing it
was disabled. As soon as I selected use only 1 screensaver. It works just fine.

Thanx for tip , will give it a shot .

Here are the Terminal results I got :

xscreensaver
xscreensaver: 21:08:42: already running on display :1.0 (window 0x1600001)
from process 14358

So I don t see much errors in there , it wasn t doing unllogins before on LL2.2 Beta release , wonder what happened with 2.2 Finale .

Will do some Xscreensaver readings from Rokyt s link he kindly gave  & come back later on with this .

Means everything is OK. You probably have xscreensaver options set on disabled.
I got the same reading before enabling mine. Just a different job number since I am on SaliX.

In my link. There is a command to bring up the xcreensaver gui

DISPLAY MODES TAB  This page contains a list of the names of the various display modes, a preview area, and some fields that let you configure screen saver behavior. [table] [tr][td] Mode [/td][td] This option menu controls the activation behavior of the screen saver. The options are: [table] [tr][td][/td][td] Disable Screen Saver [/td][/tr][tr][td] [/td][td] Don't ever blank the screen, and don't ever allow the monitor to power down.[/td][/tr] [tr][td][/td][td] Blank Screen Only [/td][/tr][tr][td] [/td][td] When blanking the screen, just go black: don't run any graphics.[/td][/tr] [tr][td][/td][td] Only One Screen Saver [/td][/tr][tr][td] [/td][td] When blanking the screen, only ever use one particular display mode (the one selected in the list.)[/td][/tr] [tr][td][/td][td] Random Screen Saver [/td][/tr][tr][td] [/td][td] When blanking the screen, select a random display mode from among those that are enabled and applicable.  If there are multiple monitors connected, run a different display mode on each one.  This is the default.[/td][/tr] [tr][td][/td][td] Random Same Saver [/td][/tr][tr][td] [/td][td] This is just like Random Screen Saver, except that the same randomly-chosen display mode will be run on all monitors, instead of different ones on each.[/td][/tr][/table][/td][/tr][/table]
