Urza9814 Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Yea, you have to use the mandrake screensaver app, under system > configuration > other > screensaver For some reason the KDE ones don't work right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 The solution that I found for this was to ensure I had the drivers installed for my video card. The ones with 10.1 wouldn't work, so I updated, and then OpenGL started working, along with the screensavers. I think I also found, I had to remove the xscreensaver packages too before it would work also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 If you're using the nvidia or ATI driver it's likely a permissions problem for OpenGL applications. Does this happen with all screensavers, or just the OpenGL ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reconfigured Posted May 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 seems to happen with all the KDE screensavers, except the scrolling text one, although i didnt try each of them. i have a nvidia chip based card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
