  1. There is something supremely screwy with the Intel video driver on my laptop, that the Gibson #xscreensaver seems to regularly tickle to the point of lockups. Since Gibson has been fine on previous laptops and my desktop, I'm prone to blame the driver and/or specific chipset in this machine. None of @jwz 's work is in question, it's been solid for me for like over 3 *decades* at this point. Kinda sad to disable that one, though, reminds me of #netrunner a lot (obviously)

    That's about how I remember Win98! Cool.

    I was only surprised that there's nothing like this in XScreenSaver...

  11. Hmm… after installing the latest #Linux #kernel, my computer has frozen a few times when left idle for a while. Alternatively, it might be an #xscreensaver issue…

  16. With LXQt I have rediscovered the joys of screensavers !!

    Questions for linux users:

    1. I wonder why one no longer finds screensavers in modern OSes. Is it just a fashion thing?

    2. With increasing adoption of wayland, I wonder if any replacements/lookalikes are in the works. I really hope so!

    Does anyone have more info ?

  21. Hasta que no arreglen que se pueda usar protectores de pantalla - XScreenSaver como mínimo - en Wayland, nunca vamos a tener el año de Linux en el escritorio.

    De repente hay que volver a X11, yo qué sé...

  26. A rare moment of digital serendipity; when #xscreensaver randomly kicks off the "drift clouds" screen saver the instant Cliffs by #aphextwin starts playing (the orchestral rendition by #AlarmWillSound)

  30. Ok, a little bit of debugging and verbose xscreensaver brought me to the suspicion that the cvlc command itself is at fault: it inhibits xscreensaver, immediately unlocking the screen again, doing so regularly. I need a command line option for cvlc to ALLOW the screensaver. No inhibit needed. Question: IS there an option to allow screensavers in cvlc??

  35. I installed it, got #xscreensaver somehow integrated into Cinnamon, disabled the built in "screensaver", which does only blanking. But I notice that xscreensaver does not activate. Manually locking the screen reveals why: It seems the laptop generates lots of spurious input events at random intervals. Why??? And why does the original Cinnamon screensaver work fine? Can I use xev to listen for those events? And can I make xscreensaver ignore those? I doubt they are useful events.
