Hello,
I just finished installing FC4 and have found that the screensavers are not there. This was a problem with the screensavers as well in FC4t3 as well and I forgot which files with YUM I had to download to install them. Can you tell me which files need to be downloaded for the screensavers to be loades?

They are not installed by default because some are offensive and some may crash a users system (gl screen savers mostly). So we ship with only one - blank screen. You can however get xscreensaver-extras and xscreensaver-gl-extras as someone else has pointed out.

Also some of them use sections of the users screen for amusing effects. Thats a nasty suprise that some people don't welcome when they are using "lock" mode.

All that is a none-issue if the default setting for xscreensaver would be "blank screen" (no matter wether the others are installed or not), or am I missing something?
Best regards, Daniel

FC4 seems to default to choosing a random image from /usr/share/backgrounds/images, which is a lot better. Mirek

Oh. Good then. :)

Yes. I still think it's a good idea to change the default to using a directory of logos/images rather than the background. It's an easy switch, still looks nice, and doesn't have the surprise side-effect.
