Just for the record............ I'm using gnome and as soon as the tool to control the screen saver opens up the box locks up so its not possible to change it - To fix the situation I had to go in and blow away the following directories: .gconf .gconfd .gnome2 .gnome2_private My guess is that that level of removal wasn't necessary but I needed to get stuff done. It turns out that any change from blank screen to some type of screen saver causes the issue - Any clue what's happening? M- On Tue, Dec 29, 2009 at 10:37 PM, John Andersen <jsamyth@gmail.com> wrote:

Folks:
Just installed 11.2 x86-64 on an AMD box with a gigabyte motherboard and built in ATI video card - specifics: System is fully patched and up to date, Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2HP AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard with a ATI Radeon HD 3200 built in video card
Anyway, after I went into Control Center -> Screen Saver and then selected Atlantis I lost my keyboard and only had some mouse control - buttons no longer worked so I couldn't select another screen saver. Also, cntrl-alt-backspace didn't kill the X server and cntrl-alt-delte didn't kill the box. I tried to ssh into the box but after taking my password that shell locked. I ended up having to power cycle the system.
My question - is there a file I can edit to delete that stupid setting since I can't use the normal tool, the gui, to change it?
Thanks -

Well if you don't let it go into the screen saver mode you should be able to use the gui to change it.
Or you could try nuking /home/[user]/.kde4/kscreensaverrc (Presuming you are KDE, you didn't say...
