[expert] kdm xscreensaver
Hi, Is there some way to get xscreensaver working with kdm? Following the instructions from man xscreensaver I added to /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0: xhost +localhost xscreensaver but this didn't work. I tested adding other commands to this file and they were executed correctly when kdm comes up. Does anybody know how I can get this working?

Re: [expert] kdm xscreensaver
I would like to hear about this kind of stuff also. Actually I've been wondering about how to get the lightning portion of xscreensaver to function as a background for the signon screen. I remember that I did it once a long time ago and it was a killer display. ;-) Guilherme Cirne wrote: Hi, Is there some way to get xscreensaver working with kdm?
