Now you bring it up; they are not being shown in the little display when they are being selected. I've to investigate if the work at all, at my suse-7.3 version. BTW: is there a screensave (preferable kde) that is able to retrieve the headlines (preferable via rdf), and have these headlines shown via the screensaver? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

-- You can still use xscreensaver while running KDE even without KDE 3.1 or Suse 8.1. Xscreensaver comes with Suse 8.0. Just disable the KDE screensaver, run "xscreensaver-demo" (w/out quotation marks) to set up xscreensaver the way you want it, and then edit your .xinitrc file to add "xscreensaver &" (no quotes) to the area it designates for adding your own commands..

Yeah. I knew this. What I was talking about was the fact that KDE 3.1 has a module that lets you use the xscreensaver's and control them within the KControl panel. This is missing from the 8.0 pkgs and I haven't had a good explanation as to why or at least why the libs that are need to do this can't be included in a pkg for 8.0. I'm still running 8.0 at home because 8.1 disagreed with the bios revision of my Asus MB at the time it came out. I know all the fixes to make it work now. I just don't have time to upgrade then tweak the box again. Thanks though. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I'll tell you what you should see.

Ahh, come on Ben. Wadda mean you don't have enough time. It's not like you busy or anything (hehehe - jk). It was the opposite with me. 8.0 didn't agree with my Gigabyte bios and the PCD20276 ata/raid chipset but that was fixed with the lastest kernel (at the time) with 8.0. Also, before this fix I could get either Linux or XP to boot from the pcd20xxx interconnects, now Linux will but XP gets confused (of course and can't figure out what it is). I guess back porting the xscreensaver stuff might be a challenge, or at least time consuming and given this it might be released in a bit - but then again - ? Cheers, Curtis.

how do i do that? i do not see any option for this in the kcontrol module run "xscreensaver-demo" (w/out quotation marks) to set up
xscreensaver the way you want it, and then edit your .xinitrc file to add "xscreensaver &" (no quotes) to the area it designates for adding your own commands..
