Hi all,

I'm working on my problem about screensaver that don't work after some
update, and some reconfig.

So I searched on google, and found that kscreensaver works also for
root.

I'm logged every time as root, for kind of activities that I have to do,
and my screensaver worked well.
It started afetr time configured, and locked the station.

Now it doesn't start (only the screen becomes dark (not definitely black
but with less light) and doesn't lock.

I don't know why, but on my pc I didn't find nothing related to
kscreensaver, even if kdebase is cerrectly installed.

I think two things.
First.. new kernel interfere with screensaver.
Second.. I had kscreensaver configured, but now kscreensaver is not
present.

I'm using KDE
So questions are:
Why screensaver doesn't work for root, and before worked.
How to recognise what screensaver is used (no daemon started)
Why if I use Alt-Ctrl-L, or Menu -> Lock or the Applet on Panel to lock
session, it works well (screensaver start and lock is good).

If I can't solve this I will ask how to configure another user exactly
as root (with all softwared configured). But I prefer to solve first the
screensaver problem.

Bye
 Ambrogio

I am shure others have said this before, and it is not an answer to
you question, but there is _really_ no need to log into X as root.
There are numerous reasons why you should not do this. Use su or sudo
to gain root access as a normal user.
