GNOME 3 no longer includes built-in screensaver support, but you can still use the legendary xscreensaver software to get a slide show screensaver. First, install it: # yum install xscreensaver The RPM drops a file in /etc/xdg/autostart to automatically start the xscreensaver daemon on login, but that doesn't take effect immediately after install, so either log out and back in or start the daemon: $ xscreensaver & Then, locate the xscreensaver configuration tool in your applications menu or run: $ xscreensaver-demo To get a slide show screensaver, select "Only one screen saver" from the "Mode" dropdown, then select GLSlideshow from the list of screensavers. Then, switch to the "Advanced" tab, and under "Image Manipulation" make sure "Choose Random Image" is checked, and select the directory that contains the images you want for the slideshow. Note that hooks to work with xscreensaver were purposely removed in GNOME 3, so you'll need to manually disable any screen blanking or power management features if they get in the way. -T.C. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
