I'm using SuSE 9 professional (Im new to suse and fairly new on linux). I have the following "problem": The screensaver configuration never survives boot so I never get the screensaver but just a black screen. When I enter the configuration window in kde, it always tells me that the screensaver deamon is not running and that if I would like to start it now! I always say yes, then the screensaver starts normaly after the specified time but the changes never remain after booting, why?. Just as a general question deriving from the previous, I would like to know how can you control which procesess or services are activated on boot and how to keep them running. Im trying to configure nfs as well but portmap (needed) and other services appear to be "sleeping". How can I change that "sleeping" to "running"? . Thanks a lot (Im still reading about SuSE firewall ;-) Felipe.
