Kieth Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) In terminal as non-root, please give the result of this command. rpm -qa | grep screen This will show what files you have installed as screensavers. There might be a conflict somewhere. Â This is what I have installed (KDE 4.2). $ rpm -qa | grep screenx11-font-screen-cyrillic-1.0.1-2mdv2009.0 libkscreensaver5-4.2.0-4mdv2009.0 mandriva-theme-Flash-screensaver-1.3.6-1mdv2009.0 mandriva-theme-Free-screensaver-1.3.6-1mdv2009.0 mandriva-theme-Powerpack-screensaver-1.3.6-1mdv2009.0 mandriva-theme-One-screensaver-1.3.6-1mdv2009.0 kdeartwork4-kscreensaver-4.2.0-1mdv2009.0 Edited February 21, 2009 by Kieth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux_man Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 this is the output of mine [hossam@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep screengnome-screensaver-2.24.0-1mdv2009.0 libkscreensaver5-4.1.2-13mdv2009.0 screen-4.0.3-5mdv2009.0 mandriva-theme-Free-screensaver-1.3.6-1mdv2009.0 kdeartwork4-kscreensaver-4.1.2-2mdv2009.0 [hossam@localhost ~]$ so what is that mean ?

Kieth Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) I don't know if there is a conflict between the packages installed. You might try removing screen-4.0.3-5mdv2009.0 and see if that helps. You can always put it back. When you try to remove it, if it asks to remove other packages, say no. Beyond this, I don't know what to do. Edited February 22, 2009 by Kieth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isadora Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 i'v mdv 2009.0 and when i play the screen saver or when i left my pc for a while the screen saver turning on but the problem is that the screen saver appers only in the top left corner i tried to fix it but i failed any help will be appreciated Have the same on my desktop and laptop. Somtetimes the screensaver is showed up fullscreen, but most of the time just in the left upperquarter of the screen. It didn't start after some update, but just from the beginning after initial install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
