xscreensaver - Different screen-saver for each monitor?

RichardPowers · 09-02-2010, 07:22 PM

So I'm using xscreensaver on Fedora 13 and was wondering if I could use a different screen-saver on each of my monitors (I have two). I don't know how or if I can do so, but I'm confident that someone here will.

Thanks to any replies in advance!

hmm, xscreensaver doesn't seem to have an display option.
One way is to detect idle time and than run application like mplayer that play seamless video loop (there are many beautifl on net like artbeats) for each monitor.

Otherwise i think that could be done by running two instances of X/window manager. You can do that but i'm not very sure how.

Thanks for the response, I guess I'll have to try that. It's a shame though, I really liked xscreensaver.

Thanks!
