I have that installed here. Question now is, is that what locks my |
| 17 |
screen or is KDE/sddm/something else doing that besides xscreensaver. |
| 18 |
From my poking around, I don't think I'm using xscreensaver. I'm trying |
| 19 |
to figure out how that works so I can get it to be used with KDE and any |
| 20 |
other GUI I use. Being able to use ctrl+alt=L would be a nice bonus. |
