Now the only real problem is my own bloody-mindedness. I thought I'd try to turn off screen savers, and they wouldn't go, so now I REALLY don't want screensavers. This is Linux, I don't have to put up with these windows-like annoyances, "That's just the way it is..."
I noticed this first in 8.2 when my system was locking up on 3d screen savers. It turned out that my Nvidia driver, my Nvidia video card, and my Nvidia motherboard didn't really play nice with each other. X would use up 99% cpu time and stop. Setting "nvagp 0" in XF86Config got rid of the hangs, but now my agp is disabled... I found that the only way I could disable the screensavers was to remove xscreensaver and any packages that depend on it. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAO2sp4U2uQswGyDcRAnFtAKDHL2Jk1ebSMoOSo9ORI2HoILGOegCbBaRP t+Vz64HNj9NCygWKAs2fEcY= =Cwa5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
