I'm using gnome-2.12.3. I went to the Advanced tab of Xscreensaver |
| 15 |
(v4.24, if it matters). The only thing checked was Grab Video Frames in |
| 16 |
the Image Manipulation group and Fade to Black When Blanking. I went |
| 17 |
back to Vidwhacker settings. I removed the image directory and hit OK, |
| 18 |
but when I hit the Preview button, I get XScreensaver error |
| 19 |
"vidwhacker: no data? What am I doing wrong? |
