I am not sure whether running a screensaver on an ltsp-server is a good idea... (you show nice pictures on the clients but wasting the cpu of the server and maybe the bandwidth of the network) ...only if it is running as local-apps(?) So I would be not much surprised if you were on your own with this problem... (On the other hand: in a classroom, if the clients are getting idle while the students are listening to the teacher, then it is not advisable to distract their attention with a "show". So it is better to blank the screens... Apart from all that there can be situations when such "show" can be interesting, but maybe less typical... hmm?) -- Zsolt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
