But you don't need to go through that to add hacks. :) XScreenSaver gets the list of screenhacks to use from the property "XScreenSaver*programs". It's just a string property with the values separated by \n (newlines). See /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver for an example - It's listed as *programs therem, since the XScreenSaver is implicit. You can put this resource either in your .Xdefaults, /etc/X11/XResources, or a custom app-defaults file (usually it would be ~/app-defualts/XScreenSaver - it will be loaded after the system app-defaults). SC> I see a file called <xscreensaver SC> directory>/driver/XScreenSaver.ad Where does the Debian package SC> install this file? The file is installed as /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver-nogl and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver-gl (the -nogl comes with xscreensaver, and the -gl comes with xscreensaver-gl, which is just the GL hacks from the xscreensaver split out into a separate package, so the main package doesn't require the Mesa libraries to be installed). Please don't change those, though, as they will be overwritten when you upgrade the package. If any of this is unclear or needs further explanation, feel free to ask :) HTH, -Larry -- Larry Daffner | Linux: Unleash the workstation in your PC!
