Description john.riley 2001-04-13 07:09:40 UTC 
Package: control-center
Version: 0.1
Severity: 

>Synopsis: screen savers son't work
>Class: sw-bug
System: solaris 2.8

>Description:
The screen savers do not work.  With ou the screen 
savers I can not lock the screen.  Also the colors
do not come through well. The colors work just
fine if I log into cde, as well as the screen
savers for cde.  So I don't think it is the system.

Comment 1 Bradford Hovinen 2001-10-12 18:43:20 UTC 
Just a couple of possibilities: First, you need to have XScreensaver
installed; I am not sure whether CDE screensavers have the same
requirement. Second, XScreensaver does not work if you are logged in
as root. Third, if those two possibilities do not work, then I suggest
trying version 1.5.8 of the control center, which features a rewritten
screensaver configuration tool. I am marking this fixed for now, since
it is unlikely to have been duplicated in the rewrite.
