(potato, 2.4.9) running xscreensaver but it hasn't for some time started up by itself when i start X. it says it is:
orange:~> xscreensaver xscreensaver: already running on display :0.0 (window 0x800001) from process 432 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). but the screen just blanks out after five minutes (the delay i have set), and doesn't start xscreensaving. i can get it going by typing xscreensaver-demo, and then just exiting the menu without doing anything, after which it starts up after five inactive minutes with no problem. ...weird. any ideas? below are the salient parts from my .xscreensaver file: # XScreenSaver Preferences File # Written by xscreensaver-demo 3.22 for nori on Wed Jul 4 12:58:31 # 2001. # http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/ timeout: 0:05:00 cycle: 0:05:00 lock: False lockTimeout: 0:00:00 passwdTimeout: 0:00:15 visualID: default installColormap:True verbose: False timestamp: False splashDuration: 0:00:00 demoCommand: xscreensaver-demo prefsCommand: xscreensaver-demo -prefs helpURL: http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/man.html loadURL: netscape -remote 'openURL(%s)' || netscape '%s' nice: 10 fade: True unfade: True fadeSeconds: 0:00:03 fadeTicks: 20 captureStderr: True font: *-medium-r-*-140-*-m-* [...] pointerPollTime:0:00:05 windowCreationTimeout:0:00:30 initialDelay: 0:00:00 sgiSaverExtension:True mitSaverExtension:False xidleExtension: True procInterrupts: True overlayStderr: True TIA, </nori> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/~nori/jnl/daily.html
