I'm using gnome-2.12.3. I went to the Advanced tab of Xscreensaver (v4.24, if it matters). The only thing checked was Grab Video Frames in the Image Manipulation group and Fade to Black When Blanking. I went back to Vidwhacker settings. I removed the image directory and hit OK, but when I hit the Preview button, I get XScreensaver error "vidwhacker: no data? What am I doing wrong? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
