In Centos 4.1 I am having to user the Xscreen saver as a work around due to the KDE screen saver not working properly. Has the KDE screen saver been fixed/updated in Centos 4.3, or do you still need to use xscreensaver instead? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi all, I am using centos 5. I need the screen to always be on. I have gone into System -> Preferences -> Screen saver and then I unchecked the "Activate screen saver when computer is IDLE" setting. I also edited the xorg.conf and commented out the dpms line. However, my screen is still going into some kind of screen saver. What else is there to disable? Thanks, Jerry

I am running: Samba 2.2.4 client On my workstation Red Hat version 7.2 KDE desktop Connecting to our Microsoft network. This works fine. However when I turn on the screen saver with password and the screen locks I cannot get back in (none of my passwords work, including the root password and I must use the power switch to restart the workstation). Does anyone know what password the screen

Hi, Environment: I am using CentOS 5.3 operating system. I upgraded xorg of centos to 7.3. I am using intel 945 GM board. My xorg server version is 1.4.2 and inetl driver version 2.4.3. gnome-screensaver version is 2.16.1-8.el5. Problem: I connected another system of same hardware using VGA output. Now I can see clone of my system on secondary display. I enabled screensaver with 1 minute period

I have a user who freshly installed CentOS on their desktop. They also installed VMWare 6.02. When they click the mouse on their Linux desktop, the screen saver properly activates. But, when they click the mouse in their VMWare session, the Linux screen saver never activates. This has been tried for both VMWare Player and Workstation. I don't know if it makes any difference, but the

I know this is a little off topic but I know a lot of people use Samba to authenticate pcs and this may be useful. I was wondering if anyone has written a screensaver for Win95/98 that is password protected based on the current user, who has already been authenticated through Samba. So that if a user forgets to log out of the machine the screen saver comes on and can only be disabled by the user

I have installed Centos 6.2 on: 1) Tyan S2892 with ATI on board Rage XL graphics ( Centos x86_64 version), 8GB memory, 3ware Raid array 2) Supermicro Dual Xeon Single core, old machine, with ATI onboard Rage XL graphics (Centos i386 version), 12GB memory, 3ware Raid array Both machines exhibit the same error. While trying to select a screen saver (clock or blank screen) the application seg

My screen saver crash both in gnome and kde X windows when open the screen saver. I guess that some package needed is not installed. I reinstall the gnome-screen but it still crashs. How can I check which package is not installed? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I have a dell inspiron 8200 laptop running centos 4.1 just fine. I want to connect it to an external 32 inch LCD. This laptop is dual boot windows. I set windows up to 1024x768 and connected the LCD - it worked just fine. LCD max is 1333x768 I then booted Centos 4.1 and set X to be 1024x768 also. rebooted the laptop just ot make sure. I then connected the LCD and it says can't display

Ok, trying to bypass the usual flames (I used CDE for years, then KDE until it got dumbed-down too much, and we all know how GNOME has turned out) ... I've decided to try out xfce on CentOS 7. I grabbed xfce from epel by installing the following via yum: epel-release @xfce So far it's pretty good, and is giving me the basic features I'm looking at without getting in my way.

Hi Friends, I am trying to configure screensavers settings on Gnome and KDE running Centos 5.x 32-bit environment. I need to prepare a script which will be push by Puppet and this script should be able to change settings like idle_delay, set customized password-protected screen saver, enabling lock etc.. I have tried below commands for Gnome and somehow the settings are not taking place. The

To continue here with problems on this compaq v2000 laptop, I put kernel source on a USB disk and plugged it into the v2000. NOTHING IS recognized. I tried to manually mount the disk and nothing either... I thought USB was well established.... I thought trying to recompile the kernel for realtek support might get my networking going... I am stuck??? Jerry -------------- next part

How does one access the properties associated with the blanking CentOS does at init3? How would I disable this for example? Thanks! jlc

For an out-of-box Centos install that utilizes PAM for xscreensaver within both gnome and kde, what factors would lead to xscreensaver not being able to properly unlock the user? I reviewed the logs and nothing helped. I performed ldd on xscreensaver and an ls -l on each dependency proved they were all there. The system uses local /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files for authentication - no

Hi, I have CentOS 4.3 installed on my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo D laptop (Pentium IV 2.4 GHz CPU). Everything runs just fine, but I have one problem. When I leave the machine unattended for something like an hour or two, my desktop has "frozen". Unable to recovery anything, even [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Backspace] refuses to quit X, so I have to hard-reboot by pressing PowerOn/Off for 10 seconds.

Is there any way other than CTL ALT + and CTL ALT - to set and or change the resolution of the X server when I want to. Is there a way to so take me to "1920x1080" mode and then later take me to "1366x768" mode. With xvidtune I see the -next and -prev options but I was hoping for jumping to specific modes. I so realize I can also edit out unwanted modes in the xorg.conf but
