First, open a console and see if you have xscreensaver installed. To do this, type "xscreensaver-demo" and hit enter. Otherwise, become root and type "urpmi xscreensaver". Then run "xscreensaver-demo" again and make your choices among scores of options. Now, to have f.x. KDE to run it permanently, uncheck the "screensaver" in "look and Feel" --> "screensaver". Then, still in a console, cd to /home/john/.kde/Autostart when in the Autostart directory, type : ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/xscreensaver screensaver (the last "screensaver" can be anything you want to call it, thereby creating a symbolic link to the actual application). Next time you log into KDE you'll have it running. Enjoy. Kaj Haulrich. -- ** Sent from a 100 % Microsoft-free computer **
