this is an X setting, not a window manager setting. KDE runs a command when it starts to twiddle the mouse speed. You need to run this command in your .xinitrc (or .xsession). The blackbox archives have a discuss about this. > 02. I dl the bbappconfig and tried to install it. I can run ./configure, > but when I run make all I get is errors.

In general I am strongly against screen savers. a) they continually use the CPU so it never goes to sleep. Thus your machine is always using more power than necessary, even at 2 am. b) you are better off just turning of the monitor (even more power and life savings) than you are using a program which redraws the screen often. That is not to say that we won't work to make them work, just expressing my opinion on the subject. Please submit a bug on sf.net about the screen saver issue. Please include what commands you run, how everything was configured, etc. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
