I don't sure his is your case but some people have problems with the screen saver uses 3D just selecting a no 3D screen saver the problem is resolved. <div>On 5/9/07, Skip Evans <<a href="mailto:skip@bigskypenguin.com">skip@bigskypenguin.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hey all, Some one just gave me a laptop for some work I did for them. Seems like a not too bad little machine, though an off-brand perhaps: an Averatec 3200 Series. It loaded Xu fine and seems to run okay, but the screen saver locks it up. This is something I experienced with a desktop machine once, but I just turned off the screen saver and all was fine. I notice that when I go into Session Settings and then the Screen Saver, once the image of the current screen saver comes up the machine freezes. It happens the split second the image for the current screen saver appears, but just before this the mouse is still movable. I tried to jump to the settings quickly to disable it before the image displays, but no go. Is there a config file in can simply edit with vi somewhere that will disable the screen saver? I'm sure there is, I just need to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Skip Evans Big Sky Penguin, LLC 61 W Broadway Butte, Montana 59701 406-782-2240 <a href="http://bigskypenguin.com">http://bigskypenguin.com</a> =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Check out PHPenguin, a lightweight and versatile PHP/MySQL development framework. <a href="http://phpenguin.bigskypenguin.com/">http://phpenguin.bigskypenguin.com/</a> -- xubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com"> xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
