Hey JohnnyG, Well, I am not so sure if I will get your SS to run on this Quadcore unit.....I think I may have it too messed up to fix. I now have about 8 copies of your SS in the SS pref window, when logged in as root). I have both gnome SS and the Xss installed ( should I have both installed?) The gnome one seems to load by default (I have 2 SS listed in the dropdown Pref. menu) When I click on the one that is the Xss, it states that gnomeSS is loaded and needs to be disabled, which I believe is suppose to happen when I click on the Okay button. Though I can see no difference either way as your SS never show up in either SS pref window to select.
As simple as can be; your Ultimate Edition SS pref files show up in a SS pref window when I follow your directions and I now have 8 copies in that pref window to click on to see a preview. The preview functions perfectly showing your Ultimate Edition gold or chrome floating around. I then close that window and restart the computer, I select either one of the 2 installed SS showing up on the drop down System/pref/Screensaver (x2).
I followed your advice and changed the permissions to match the "other" which was read only, this changed nothing as far as getting the Ultimate Edition SS to function. How do I get rid of the extra copies of the Ultimate Edition SS pref??
Your program works so well on the Pent. 4 systems that have the Hyperthreading enabled, that why would there be a problem with 2 more cores?
