Hi all,
Is anyone here using the SuSE-provided KDE 3.3.2a packages under 9.0? Everything seems to be working for me apart from the screensavers (used to work fine under the stock KDE in 9.0)
When I try to configure the screensaver, the little test area shows no patterns, no matter what kind of saver I choose (GL or non-GL), the "Test" button doesn't do anything, and if I leave the screensaver to kick in, it either doesn't do anything, or it hangs the machine[1]
Any ideas? I'm using nvidia video drivers, which were fine with the old version of KDE, and are working fine in normal use of the machine. It's just the screensaver I'm having gyp with.
Search vor "screensaver" in this List, and you will find "KDE 3.3 & non-functional screen savers". Here you'll get this answer : "I fixed the xscreensavers with these symlinks (as root) ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver /usr/lib ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xscreensaver/config/ /etc/xscreensaver That's because kxsrun seems to search for the xscreensavers at the wrong places. I straced this down like this: strace -f kxsrun atlantis 2>&1 |grep atlantis Daniel"
Thanks,
Matt

[1] It could be something else hanging the machine, I'm not sure, but if I leave the machine alone with the screensaver turned on, sometimes when I come back to it, I've got no control -- not even switching to a text terminal or ctrl-alt-delete...
