What?-not enough space on 7 CD's? grin I just installed Mandrake 9.0 after a couple of years with KDE and RH. I found the whole screensavers thing quite frustrating, too. But during install, I forced the install of kdeartwork, and found the screensavers missing. Being on a LAN (home lans rock for these reasons) I had saved my .kde directory from RH after the source install of 3.0.4. Overwriting the Mandrake .kde directory with the source .kde directory, got all the screensavers from KDE, including the Mandrake screensavers. I am not sure what is going on, but I would guess it is in the Mandrake screensaver settings in the .kde directory. And poking around in the directory sure didn't help, that directory under Mandrake is far more complex than under KDE originally.

Re: [newbie] 9.0 screensavers?
I think the xscreensaver it so good; you can use it even with KDE (by default Gnome uses it). To use it just do: A) In kde control panel dissable screensaver B) put in /home/user/.kde/Autostart/ an script file named, for example, start-xscreensaver.sh with just this conten: xscreensaver -nosplash make it executable (chmod +x .) C) The next time you will start KDE you will be able to change the parameters of xscreensaver typing in a console: xscreensaver-demo (I like to put it to change of screensaver every 2 minutes, and in random mode). I read this cheat from mandrake forum (http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=2078lang=en) D) you can improve the xscreensaver adding several wonderfull screensaver to xscreensaver, have a look at the next page in Mandrake Forum: http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=2540lang=en euphoria, skyrocket, plasma.. look fantastic.

[newbie] 9.0 screensavers?
Okay, I'll give. I tried searching KDE's web site, the Mandrake mailing list archive, and Texstar... so...where are screen savers for version 9.0? I didn't have but 4 with the 3 CD download edition, which is understandable...but the same 4 with the powerpack? What?-not enough space on 7 CD's? grin Thanks all. -- /\ Dark Lord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
