Hi, In FC4 xscreensaver got split up into three packages: xscreensaver-base, xscreensaver-extras, and xscreensaver-gl-extras. By default only xscreensaver-base gets installed, which only comes with blank screen. If you want more screensavers install either the xscreensaver-extras or xscreensaver-gl-extras package (or both).
I can see xscreensaver-base in core, but no xscreensaver-extras or xscreensaver-gl-extras in extras. This means we need to run rpmbuild on the source rpm to get the missing two, right?
