#5938: Screensavers don't work in 'live cd'-mode ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: idefix | Owner: korli Type: bug | Status: reopened Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Add-Ons/Screen Savers | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Platform: All | Blockedby: Patch: 0 | Blocking: ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Changes (by idefix): * status: closed => reopened * resolution: fixed => Comment: Sorry, I was too quick with my conclusion. The screensavers still don't work when running in 'live cd'-mode. They will however start to work after invoking `screen_blanker` once in `Terminal`: 1. boot a nightly cd 2. wait 15 minutes, or start `ScreenSaver` and click on the `Test` button - the currently selected screensaver (`Blackness`) will not start (the screen doesn't turn black) 3. crash `screenSaver` by clicking on the list (if you didn't wait 15 minutes at step 2) 4. open `Terminal` and start `screen_blanker` - the currently selected screensaver (`Blackness`) starts (the screen turns black) 5. start `ScreenSaver` and click on the `Test` button - the currently selected screensaver (`Blackness`) does now start normally (the screen turns black) -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/5938#comment:5> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
