KDE screen saver.
Hi,
Years ago when I was using RHL the KDE environment had screensavers. I don't see that option now. Is there a way to get some for it? I am running RHL 7.3 and using the version of Plasma that came with the RHL desktop software.

Since now-ubiquitous LCD displays won't suffer from screen burn-in and start up quickly from DPMS power-off state, the screensavers have become pretty much useless. So they are no longer included in default installations.
However, the EPEL repository https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL includes xscreensaver, which is a desktop-environment-agnostic screen saver package which has a lot of screensaver modes - so much, in fact, that they have been split into several RPMs: xscreensaver-base, xscreensaver-extras, xscreensaver-gl-base and xscreensaver-gl-extras.
I think KDE4 may even have some integration for xscreensaver, but I'm not sure.
