Re: screensaver

Hi

using xscreensaver

I had to install perl to make the slideshow work

If I start the slideshow in a CLI; one error is still remaining:

tux@slitaz:~$ /usr/lib/xscreensaver/glslideshow

glslideshow: unable to load font "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-180-*", using "fixed"

but the slideshow is working

EDIT:

I use the nvidia-driver...don't know if it will work with open-source drivers

Re: screensaver

thanks you for your reply

i didn't know  xscreensaver, i installed it

the problem of glslideshow is.. it's using opengl, and this computer does not have it.

so i'm using the slideshow screensaver, but that made cells over the pictures, i dislike it.

Re: screensaver

finally not resolved.. how could i do to automatically launch xscreensaver -no-splash when opening the session? using .config/autostart or /etc/xdg/autostart folder does nothing..

Re: screensaver

answering myself:

.config/autostart/ssaver.desktop

[Desktop Entry]

Type=Application

Name=xset

Exec=/usr/bin/xscreensaver -no-splash
