Kieth Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 (edited) Hello again, It's been a couple of years since my screensaver has worked. The screen just goes blank. I last asked about it with the Mandriva 2007 installation ( screensaver ). I would like to get it to work now, if at all possible. I do not care if I use opengl screensavers or not. In fact, I don't think I have any installed. The only opengl packages I found on my system are: [root@localhost kieth]# urpme opengl The following packages contain opengl: python-opengl-2.0.1.09-7mdv2007.1.i586 libqtopengl4-4.3.1-12mdv2008.0.i586 From that last post (October 2006), here is some of the information that ian asked for. [root@localhost kieth]# glxinfo | grep direct libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4c direct rendering: Yes [root@localhost kieth]# urpmi mesa-demos Package mesa-demos-7.0.1-10mdv2008.0.i586 is already installed [root@localhost kieth]# uname -a Linux localhost 2.6.22.12-desktop586-1mdv #1 SMP Tue Nov 20 08:09:17 EST 2007 i686 AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+ GNU/Linux Since the "direct rendering" is now yes, I was hoping that I would be able to get everything working. My graphics card is still the same as last year, which is, according to the MCC: Identification Vendor: ‎ATI Technologies Inc Description: ‎RV280 [Radeon 9200] Before writing this, I also tried putting the following in kdesktoprc, as cebo mentioned, but still no luck: DPMS-dependent=false in the screensaver section of ~/.kde/share/config/kdesktoprc then it was fixed. Maybe this will help you too. Also, since I thought the DPMS-dependent=false might be a "typo", I put "DKMS. . ." instead. Still no luck. Any idea on how I can resolve the problem? Thanks, Kieth Edited December 11, 2007 by Kieth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavaeolus Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 (edited) don't know if this helps but the screensavers are in the following packages: kdeartwork-screensavers kdeartwork-screensavers-gl (screensavers using openGL) these were the KDE-Packages for Gnome the packages: xscreensaver xscreensaver-gl should be the right ones, possibly there are more the standard Mandriva Slideshow Screensaver is named Krozat (it is a package of its own) Edited December 10, 2007 by lavaeolus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Thanks for the reply. I had those files. I then added the kde4 files, in hopes that that would help, but no, no change. Then I went back to /.kde/share/config/kdesktoprc and changed DKMS back to DPMS, AND IT WORKED!!!! :bounce8: :bounce8: Finally, after 2 years I have a screensaver!! Thank you, thank you.
