XFCE Screensaver question.
Just gone to Slackware-15.0 with xfce-4.16.0.
There are two screensaver programs in X as installed
I have currently resorted to configuring the autostarted xfce4-screensaver to go and play blindfold in the traffic, auto-starting Xscreensaver (which pops up it's settings dialogue every time) and configuring that to show a tranquil screensaver. I can't seem to find where either store the screensavers. Can I improve on this by installing useful screensavers for xfce4-screensaver or adding a switch to xscreensaver not to set up every time? |
I have one question that may appear to be from left field: When you set xscreensaver to autostart, did you point to xscreensaver to xscreensaver-demo?
I ask because xscreensaver-demo is the configuration dialog. It you start it, it will start xscreensaver, but can start xscreensaver directly, withoutout calling xscreensaver-demo. I have done it on many systems that don't come with xscreensaver as the default. Like I say, just a shot in the dark. |
^ Yes, xscreensaver can definitely be made to start without popping up a settings dialog.
About the choice of screensavers: My distro (not Slack) has separate packages for additional screensavers, they're recognized by all *screensaver programs (All ${DE}-screensaver programs are just forks of the original xscreensaver). |
