From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Description of problem: X screensaver should be set to use one simple, generic, and polished default screensaver. Perhaps a RedHat devloped BlueCurve themed screen saver. Many of the current screensavers have been known to cause X to crash on various video cards/drivers. Others have been known to cause children in Asia to have seizers. I feel this would add more polish to the distro. It will also contribute to the stability of X. Please consider it. Thanks. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xscreensaver-4.14-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a RedHat desktop. Actual Results: X screensaver cycles through many repulsive and disruptive screensavers by default. Expected Results: X screensaver should be set to use one simple, generic, and polished default screensaver. Additional info: Last time I used Mandrake I noticed they were doing this.
I agree. BSOD and XFlame, are examples of screen savers that immediately make users think that something is wrong. The screensaver needs to reflect the desktop, especially since it is enabled by default. The current default can give users a bad impression of Redhat.
Note some relevant discussion took place on this topic: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2004-July/msg00006.html
Yup. And it crashed my computer when i was running vodoo 3.
Please could "Grab desktop images" be disabled by default too.
Hi, > Please could "Grab desktop images" be disabled by default too. This feature was disabled by default about a week ago in rawhide. See bug 126809 for details.
