Xscreensaver!


Hi!

I am running fedora core 3 with two displays(LCD and TV). Now I would like to be able to activate xscreensaver on only one display if I for instance is watching a movie on the TV. I am running two xservers, i.e. I can't drag a window from one display to the other.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Would be really grateful for some help!!!!

/Marcus

So ... You're wanting to have the two screens be one big display or two seperate displays?

The two displays are already two screens. I can't move windows between the two screens but I can move my mousepointer
But the thing is that when my xscreensaver kicks in It kicks in on both screens which I don't want too. I only want the screensaver on one screen, but don't know how to do that!
