Hi Jim, I've seen a similar behaviour in incomplete installations of the xscreensaver package. Are you sure your screensavers are installed? Can you display/preview all of them?

You may also want to check whether there are any relevant messages in /var/log/messages.

Thanks, -mw

I too am getting this problem and am looking for a solution, if you find one please post it to the list, thanks. -- LostSon http://www.lostsonsvault.org /\ \ \ \__/ \__/ \ \ (oo) (oo) \_\/~~\_/~~\_ _.-~===========~-._ (___________________) \_______/ I Want To Believe -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

My post a couple of days ago might help you. <Q>

I was experiencing an almost identical problem with 10.1 which I resolved by going into "KDE desktop configuration -> Display -> Power Management setting" then setting "Enable display power management" to on and setting the 3 options there to disable.

It sounds illogical and I don't know why it should work, but it works for me. YMMV.

Hi Dave!

Did you also check to 'ON' the option to make the screen saver aware of power control?

I think I did. I say "think", because I remember seeing that option and I went to check before answering but now I can't find it.

Thanks Dave! That worked. Turning power control back on with all of the sliders set to disable and making the screen saver aware of power control worked.

Now I have workable screen savers but the down side is no power control instead of over zealous power control. There doesn't seem to be a happy medium with this power control stuff.

It seems that KDE has trouble with screen savers and sound servers every time they come out with a new release......Were are the good old days of KDE 1.2.... :-) </Q>
