Thanks, Jim. I now have all expected screensavers functioning. I have
only two problems, and
they may be specific to my laptop, a Dell 8500:
-- Some of the screensavers appear to be running too fast
-- For some reason, the hyperball screensaver always has locked up
occasionally on this
laptop, but no problem on two other desktop Linux boxes.
