Which directory?The other question of course is whether gnome-screensaver can be dumped altogether (rpm -e gnome-screensaver) and only keep xscreensaver.Any ideas?I am replying to myself and perhaps helping someone else at the same time.The answer to the sparseness of gnome-screensaver is pretty simple as it turns out if you are on F8.Go to http://www.andreas-mueller.com/mrepo/f8-i386/RPMS.updates/repoview/xscreensaver.htmland download xscreensaver-extras-gss-5.04-1.fc8.i386.rpmThis package adds all the nice xscreensaver screens to gnome-screensaver.OK. the eproblem is that I use Gentoo and this RPM package does not help me. What to do ?
Hello Ka,I'm afraid I know absolutely nothing about Gentoo. I'm Red Hat/Fedora through and through.
If Gentoo uses Gnome as it's desktop then I would be looking on the Gentoo forums or repositories for either a package or the source tarball. Failing that try the xscreensaver forums. They may have a source tarball. I had a quick Google but nothing turned up for me. I didn't try the Gentoo forums.
I'm sorry I could not be more helpful. -- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols. ...
