I was able to configure and test a screensaver in the KDE control center. However, when the system sits idle for the specified 5 minutes, and the screensaver should activate, it does not appear to. Instead, when I return to the machine, I find the KDE desktop 'frozen' at the moment the screensaver should have activated. With a keypress or mouse movement, the clock is instantly up-to-date and the logtail window is current.
Are you running KDE 2.1.2? There is a bug, which is fixed if you run YOU and update the packages for KDE. I haven't run YOU yet. I seem to have a mixed system. `rpm -qa | grep kde` tells me that mostly I'm running kde 2.1.1, but kdelibs is at 2.1.2.
You need to turn off antialiasing if you want to use the original fonts. I had this "problem" too - things are much better now with the Microsoft TT fonts.
Yeah, the microsoft fonts are better than the supplied ones, but they still are horrible in a terminal window, where I want a good old-fashioned fixed-pitch font. I seem to remember a post here a month or so ago about editing the font paths, re-inserting all the old fonts as well as the TTF ones. I can't for the life of me find it now that I need it! An acquaintance once told me that he 'mines' all the various demo CD's he gets at work for font files. I've got quite a coaster collection here. Can someone let me know how I might go about it?
