[OpenIndiana-discuss] Screen locking with XScreenSaver disabled

[Predrag Zecevic]

Hi all,

this is on my OI installation:

:; pkg list *screen*
NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION                    IFO
desktop/mate/mate-screensaver 1.26.2-2023.0.0.0          i--
desktop/mate/mate-screenshot 1.26.1-2023.0.0.0          i--
desktop/xscreensaver 6.8-2023.0.0.0             i--
desktop/xscreensaver/hacks 6.8-2023.0.0.0             i--
desktop/xscreensaver/hacks/hacks-gl 6.8-2023.0.0.0             i--
terminal/screen 4.9.1-2023.0.0.2           i--

I am *using* mate-screensaver because I want my screen locked.

If I recall properly, preferred applications in mate settings is used to 
define which screen saver is to be used/started.

You 1st image shows xScreenSaver and 2nd one is disabled 
mate-screensaver (not ATM at GUI screen, so I cannot confirm for sure)

HTH
Regards.
