Some bugs in Slacko with XScreenSaver

[zandarian]

Using Slacko Puppy version 5.7 I've installed XScreenSaver from PPM and run it with ...

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
cd /
chmod 777 root
su nobody -c xscreensaver-demo
#exit
cd /
chmod 755 root

... to skip the root/nobody error message.

It works quite well, but ...

1. GLSlideshow mode returns:

   glslideshow: unable to load font "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-180-*", using "fixed"
   xscreensaver: [Time] 0: child pid 12719 (glslideshow) terminated with signal 11.

   Other image showing modes work well if you put them where stated in "Advanced - Image Manipulation - Choose Random Image" and they are not too small, ... More info in http://askubuntu.com/questions/74200/ho ... creensaver
2. FlipText, FontGlide and StarWars return ...

   Cant't locate Text/Wrap.pm in @INC ...

   ... even if we just put some text in "Advanced - Text Manipulation - Text". GLText works well with the text we choose in Settings - Advanced - Command Line "gltext -root -text 'Any text here'". Doing so with the 3 other doesn't work.
3. "Lock Screen After" doesn't work
