Yesterday, there was a yum update that installed new xscreensaver stuff. Now, I'm back to mayne 4,5 screensavers, no glx extras, none of that. Where are they? I want them BACK! All in all, I am really happy with FC5, just runs great.
The probelm is that I HAVE all those packages. It's a total of 5 screensavers, I must have had a hundred before the upgrade. Not a single one in the GL extras.
Now, if I do rpm -ql screensaver-gl-extra, i SEE them all listed, but the screensaver app doesn't. How I can make the xscreensaver package USE all of them ?
Well, here's the problem, at least defined. There's a piece called gnome-screensaver. After my upgrade, this became the screensaver of choice, and xscreensaver wasn't even running. I shut that down, and started xscreensaver, then fixed the menu entry to point to xscreensaver, and all came back to normal. Now, how do I accomplish this on each invocation of X?
TIA, Ray
