glassJAw Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hello, has anyone had a problem with the screen saver? I can preview the nice looking 3d ones fine, but when I wait 3 minutes it seems like the system stiffs up after I move the mouse then everything works. I tried searching and it looks like a rare occurance. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24992-screen-saver-doesnt-load-right/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiaboliK Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 is enerysaver on? sometimes it will turn off your monitor but leave the image up (well i guess it doesnt completely sleep the monitor). try playing witht the energysaver options and see what happens.

StarForge Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Does your video card support Core Image or Quartz Extreme? In the small preview window things will often run smoothly, but without any OpenGL support it'll have a really bad frame rate in full-screen. ATI or nVidia card?

glassJAw Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 Thanks, I'll check that out. CI and QE are both activated and the screen savor works fine full screen. I just can't get it to work on its own. ATI x1600 Mobile that hasn't been activated because no drivers seem to work.

StarForge Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Ah whoops sorry, looks like I made too many assumptions there Strange that it doesn't work on its own though, but I guess with our hacked drivers anything is possible. I've a GeForce 6600 so I don't even have CI or QE.

I can activate the screen saver under system preferences and it works fine... but it won't work on it's own... Same thing with the monitor. I can't get it to go to sleep mode. If you know how I can fix this... I'd really appreciate it.
