Hello!
(I just posted this question in German. I am sorry, I forgot it is an English list)
After installation of SuSE 8.1 I am using also KDE as GUI.
Now, I would like to use the external screensaver "xscreensaver" instead of the KDE-own one. Because xscreensaver changes the "pictures" itself during the current pop -up of screensaver. In opposite to KDE -as far as I know- which chooses one "picture" for the current moment and changes it after next time popping-up only. Please correct my if I am wrong (what to do to adjust?).
Nevertheless I deactivated the screensaver via KDE Control Center and added "xscreensaver" in .xinitrc.
But it does not work. The program starts, but does not popping up after adjusted time elapsed (parameters are to find in ~/.xscreensaver).
Is there something more to adjust to achieve success?
Hi Michael, first of all check whether xscreensaver is running (e.g. "ps aux | grep xscreensaver", maybe you already did it). I am doing just as you want to do for years now. No problems. Kind regards Frank
