I played a bit with screensavers and I found that
xscreensaver
is hard to deal with. First, I encountered black screen during OpenIndiana installation (very annoying for newcomers). Then after the installation I saw few screen lockups where I was unable to get out of them without a hard hammer. There are also other more or less serious issues withxscreensaver
. As a result I simply uninstalled thedesktop/xscreensaver
and installeddesktop/mate/mate-screensaver
and I no longer see any problems with screensavers or screen locking.So I propose to replace
xscreensaver
bymate-screensaver
in the default desktop installation.
