Now I have a preview in gnome-control-center and...it works. I think if you only install "GNOME System" the screensaver modules are missing.
Very good! A pain in the back side, but a decent workaround...
In fact, with 9.3, I was only able to get a stable Gnome desktop
I had no problems with 9.3. I did full install, performed the online update, patched gnome-session not to start susewatcher and suseplugger and it works stable.
You and everybody else, it seems. It was my problem, alone. To be fair, the underlying cause appeared to be the SiS 5513 IDE driver running the chip in "not 100% native mode" and causing barrier-based sync cache flushing to be turned off. One or more (Gnome?) applications didn't want to play nice with that. I got it sorted out,but it was a long painful process.
... particularly since it seems to be fixed in RC1 at this end.
the "no screensaver modules installed" problem happens to RC1.
I'd add "if one chooses only Gnome desktop at installation", correct? I know the gnome-screensavers were being actively looked at. Hopefully that work shows up in the next release... Glad you got it sorted out & take care! - Carl
