Hi,
For some reason I can see only very limited number of screensavers (21
in total) in KDE Control Center -> Appearance & Themes -> Screen Saver
panel. I know there are plenty more installed since choosing "Random"
option will result in screensaver I cannot choose manually. Worse yet,
half of the available ones are OpenGL (10) that do not seem to work on
my hardware :( I have a full list on FC3 box but not on FC5t3...
Is this supoosed to be this way? Why?
In FC4 there was a separate screen sever package (xscreensaver-base)
that has to be installed manually
There are 3 additionals RPM available
xscreensaver-extras-4.24-1.1
xscreensaver-gl-extras-4.24-1.1
xscreensaver-base-4.24-1.1
xscreensaver-base package helped a lot, thanks!
Question still remains: why not all installed (in default install)
screensavers are listed in Control Center?
The screensavers package used to include all the screensavers and many
people were having problems because the gl screensavers were causing
lock-ups on systems that could not run the gl packages in X.
AIUI, the base package does not have any of the gl screensavers so that
is avoided. The extras and gl-extras are just that -- additional
screensavers that some might want.
The problem is not with xscreensaver-* packages -- these seem fine and
in fact have to be installed separately (at least I have not had them
installed by default). The problem is apparently with gnome-screensavers
package, which installs X screensavers but only Y are listed in Control
Center and in Gnome to choose from, where Y < X. That is: not all
screensavers installed are listed. Moreover about half of the listed
ones are gl and may not work on every machine or work rather miserably.
See bug 183125.
Regards,
Dariusz
