Screensavers No Longer Work After KDE 3.3 Upgrade

robpom · 08-25-2004, 11:12 AM

Running SuSE 9.1 - two different units. After upgrading to KDE 3.3, my screensavers no longer work. They are all listed, but none of them are displayed when trying to test. Once the screensaver timeout occurs, the screen blanks out.

Any ideas?

This will fix it. enter this following into the console as root:

Code:

ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver /usr/lib


ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xscreensaver/config/ /etc/xscreensaver

don;t know why it works, i found it at another bulletin board site, and it works for me.. I'm running Suse 9.1 Pro as well.
