I noticed my KDE screensaver has quit running. I can go to kde->configure desktop->screensavers and select any screensaver that i want and they all appear to work from there. I can even right-click my desktop and "lock" my screen, and the screensaver kicks right in. I've even tried to manually run the "kdesktop_lock" program, and it starts my screen saver right up. However, my screensaver does not start automatically after its designated time has lapsed. I have tried this with and without DPMS enabled, with no luck. I have it set to start after 3 minutes.
Does anyone have any idea what went wrong? I'm using SuSE 10.1 64 bit with all of the latest updates, on an AMD Athlon 64, with a NVIDIA graphics card. Its a compaq r3000 series laptop.
