Try turning screensaving off in gnome and run it manually via the startup scripts (~/.xsession if graphical and ~/.xinitrc if nongraphical logins). Just be sure to put an ampersand (&) at the end of the line calling it. To set everything up the way you want it, type 'xscreensaver-demo' from a terminal wondow once it's running. I've been doing it that way for ages whether I used anything gnome or not, and I've not had any problems. I once had problems with some screensavers working at all in gnome. But, they worked fine if I called it myself. If you still have problems, something else is terribly wrong, but it likely has nothing to do with gnome. -- Reboot America. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
