[OpenIndiana-discuss] Screensaver issues

[stes@PANDORA.BE]

It seems there are various screensaver packages:

$ pkg list | grep screensaver
desktop/mate/mate-screensaver                     1.26.1-2022.0.0.0          i--
desktop/xscreensaver                              6.4-2022.0.0.2             i--
desktop/xscreensaver/hacks                        6.4-2022.0.0.2             i--

For what it is worth, as I have not much experience with screensavers, on my OpenIndiana system, the screensavers seem to work.

mate-screensaver seems to be a package from 2022 but that would contradict the fact that it is reported to have been present in OpenIndiana in the past ...

For example in Control Center under "Screensaver" I can select "Cosmos" for the MATE screensaver and get cosmos images from planets etc.

In Control Center under 'X Screensaver Settings' (which is a different setting in Control Center) I can select "Twang" with the OpenIndiana logo and it also works.

I think the mate-screensaver package is from the MATE-desktop project
