similar to: VMWare 6.02 and Linux screen saver?

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

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

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:

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

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

My dell 8200 has centos 4.1 installed. Everything works great except the X screen saver. when it kicks in my screen goes WHITE and not what ever the selection is for the screen saver (star field, blank screen, etc..) When I do Applications, preferences, screen saver it says "The XScreenSaver daemon doesnt seem to be running on display 0:0? Launch it now?" Cancel/ Ok After that it

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

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.

I've mentioned this before, here, but with a laser printer connected via the lp0 port. I have a new laser printer, a Brother HL2140, that normally works just fine when installed using the CUPS interface per OpenPrinting's instructions (with one minor modification I had to add because the base driver without the CUPS installation did not work. Every so often, which actually appears to be

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:

A colleague has a newly built 64-bit CentOS 5.0 system that, through yum updates, has become CentOS 5.2. VMWare Workstation and Player work fine for my account on it. But a recent configuration of something under their account has produced: vmplayer GTK Accessibility Module initialized /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libspi.so.0: undefined symbol:

Hey guys, I've done a ton of googling, searching and asking in the forums, etc, and I haven't found a way to do this... :) I'm trying to find a way of having some type of screen saver at the login screen so that if I leave a machine not logged into, it won't burn-in the screen. Does anyone know of a way to achieve this? In specific, I'd love to have it simply blank the

My desktop at work is CentOS 3.8, using the motherboard's onboard Intel 865 (82865G) graphics controller. Most of the day today I've been having sporadic instances where the screen simply goes black for about 2 seconds. It has nothing to do with whether I'm using the mouse or keyboard (or not) and the delay before it comes back on is not correlated to whether I *continue* to use the

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

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

I just put a 1680x1050 LCD monitor on my home system, and I went into system-config-display to configure it as such, and it just won't take. I had to tweak some of the settings by hand, but when I log out, I get the wide screen for both the Nvidia driver splash screen and the login screen. But, when I log in, It jumps back to 1280x1024 and refuses to run in wide screen mode. Here's the

I noticed a few days ago that my secondary login screen, usually accessible through the screen saver pop-up, was not coming up. All that showed was the cursor in the upper left corner of the screen. Yesterday, in an effort to see if a logout-login would clear this up, I discovered that the main screen (console 7) logged out with the usual text trails on the screen, but the login window never

Hey Y'all, I'm trying to turn off the kernel screen blanker that shuts off the video after about 10 minutes of inactivity at the keyboard. After extensive googling I've found two ways to *NOT* do it. In my home .xinitrc setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0 xset s off In /etc/rc.local /usr/bin/setterm -powersave off -blank 0 I've tried both to no effect. Of course

In the last few days, I have noticed a drastic slowdown in my VMware Windows guest OS.. I recently bit the bullet and upgraded it from XP SP1 to SP2, and that seemed to work fine for quite a few days. The two major changes I made to the system recently were: 1) The most recent update from CentOS (can't remember which one, but it was within the last two weekd for 5.0). 2) Adding another VM

Hi, There is any experience using Asterisk with VMWare? I think about installing a virtual linux box over VMWare and then Asterisk over it. Thanks, Dan
