I am on 11.04 atm. Would like to figure out how to change the settings for screensavers without completely switching to xscreensaver. I read somewhere that it doesn't play as nicely with some of gnome's features like screen locking. I also read some guide that recommended installing xscreensaver and configuring your screen saver settings there and apparently they were supposed to be used by gnome-screensaver as well. But that did not work for me. gnome-screensaver sure sucks |

You can tune your screensavers via xscreensaver but still use gnome-screensaver daemon to run them. gnome-screensaver has no way to tune screensavers due to its author's religious inclinations. I have never seen much trouble replacing it with xscreensaver, except for screen locking. If you need locking, you will have to make a custom button or menu item. |

Well you can turn it on/off,select the screen saver, change the time settings and lock the screen settings using the power>system settings>screensaver if that would help. Not the greatest of changes I admit but better than I thought it would be. More details here: Guide to screen savers in Natty Narwhal Hope that helps you for now. |
