Hi, I have Red Hat 9.0 with KDE 3.3 installed but I dont know how to make any of the installed screensavers to list in the screensaver dialog other than "blank" and "random" can anybody tell me what I would need to do to get them listed. I have tried to reinstall them with Synaptic but they are still not listed.

Thanks,

are you using kde to handle the screensavers? what screensavers did you install?

hard to say where synaptic installed them to. for me, running redhat 7.3, *.desktop files where kde screensaver gets its listing are located in /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers and what you need to do is to locate one of the *.desktop files that synaptics might have installed into. maybe something like bsod.desktop or something like that. going at this blind, you could try searching for those files in maybe /usr/local/kde or /opt/kde. if you find them in one of the alternative directories, copy them to /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers (note that redhat may have changed that location too in redhat 9.0). good luck to ya.

using MDK 9.1 i did the Xscreensaver update and that didn't update the screensaver list in KDE, (xsaver is not an option) when i do a search for *.desktop i get 2036 hits but only 3 are screensavers...
