Re: Metro X question: lock screen not working

On Thu, 2 Apr 1998, nearly comatose, Robert Goheen managed to scribble:

When you say it isn't working, do you mean that you get an error, or that
there is simply no change in the screen?  Sometimes if you don't have the
necessary files for screen savers, there is simply no effect.  Usually
you will see that an error indicating that a file was not found if you
hit CTRL-ALT-F1, presuming that you started X from the first console.
Look there for errors, and we'll shoot from there. 
Have a good day!
