I have recently moved to CentOS from Fedora. One of the "features" of<br>this change has been that I can't install xscreensaver, only<br>gnome-screensaver. Somehow, even when I link directly to the<br>xscreensaver rpm URL yum still decides it will install<br>
gnome-screensaver instead.<br><br>Gnome-screensaver kicks in just fine, but it doesn't turn off when a<br>button on the serial lirc remote is pressed. I've seen some posts<br>about this on some of the lists and about it being in SVN, but I<br>

<br>You need to deactivate gnome-screensaver (I used the GUI tool) before activating xscreensaver. Also, while in the gnome-screensaver GUI, click on the tab and deactivate the display power down options as well.<br><br>
