I'm not using KDE... I'm using Enlightenment as my window manager. Doesn't seem to matter anway. I cannot get xscreensaver to do what it should?
If I run xscreensaver manually and then try lock the screen, I always get host1:myuser:~> xscreensaver-command -lock xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.0 I thought I would try adding it to the xinitrc... maybe it has to be started then. #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/xscreensaver -display :0.0 & I tried this in my user's .xinitrc and as root. Didn't help either way, same problem. Ok.. then I tried adding it to the gdm.conf file... my system is using gdm... I added this line... [xdmcp] BackgroundProgram=xscreensaver -display :0.0 -no-splash Didn't help.. I still get the same error. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong?
