Re: Disable screensaver

Thanks everyone for your help with this.  Right now we have our test box 
set up with a brute force method (remove xscreensavers and tell gnome 
not to complain about it).  Our terminals have built-in screensavers 
that kick in anyway so the xscreensaver stuff isn't necessary (and was 
actually causing problems).  Thanks a million for all of the ideas.

We use thin clients and unfortunately 
some of the models that are used in the field don't support OpenGL and 
some of the screensavers require it.

You could just disable those specific screen savers...

Yeah. In some distros, the OpenGL screensavers are put in a separate
package due to dependencies. For example, Debian has a xscreensaver-gl
package. You can simply uninstall it.

If you want a list of file in the debian xscreensaver-gl package, send me a
reply. It will help you select the right files for deletion.

P.S. I'm not currently on a debian box, so I couldn't include the list.
