I recently upgraded my RH7.1 system to RH7.2 + updates. Something is "out of wack" with the screensaver functionality under gnome. Enabling "random" mode via "../Desktop/Screensaver" causes random images but *simultaneously*! So, my load average goes "through the roof". Also, at that point the control panel is "hosed" ... only way to get rid of it is logging in to a virtual console as 'root' and killing it.
I've tried to solve things by "xset s off", checking processes, config files, etc., and also searched the WWW, but am out of ideas. Below I've appended what I feel is relevant output from "rpm -qa". (During a lull while writing this letter the xscreensaver started up even though I have "No Screensaver" set in the gnome panel ... weird!) Your solution to this problem will be appreciated! -- Prof Kenneth H Jacker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computer Science Dept www.cs.appstate.edu/~khj Appalachian State Univ Boone, NC 28608 USA --------------------------------------------------------------------- gdk-pixbuf-gnome-0.11.0-8 gnome-applets-1.4.0.1-6 gnome-audio-1.0.0-12 gnome-audio-extra-1.0.0-12 gnome-core-1.4.0.4-38 gnome-core-devel-1.4.0.4-38 gnome-games-1.4.0.1-4 gnome-games-devel-1.4.0.1-4 gnomeicu-0.96.1-3 gnome-libs-1.2.13-16 gnome-libs-devel-1.2.13-16 gnome-linuxconf-0.67.1-1 gnome-lokkit-0.50-6 gnome-media-1.2.3-4 gnome-network-1.0.2-3 gnome-objc-1.0.2-11 gnome-objc-devel-1.0.2-11 gnome-pim-1.2.0-13 gnome-pim-devel-1.2.0-13 gnome-print-0.29-6 gnome-print-devel-0.29-6 gnome-user-docs-1.4.1-1 gnome-utils-1.4.0-4 gnome-vfs-1.0.1-17 gnome-vfs-devel-1.0.1-17 gnome-vfs-extras-0.1.3-1 libgnomeprint11-0.25-9 libgnomeprint15-0.29-6 licq-gnome-1.0.3-7 rep-gtk-gnome-0.15-1 xlockmore-4.17.2-4 xscreensaver-3.33-4 XFree86-4.1.0-3, ... _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
