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.
