Hello all,
Im trying to get eternity screensaver working.

Ive installed it by following the instructions on the site, i have 'eternal ubuntu', 'eternal ubuntu studio', 'eternal damnation' and 'eternity' listed in the screensaver dialog.

The screensavers show up fine in the screensaver view however, when i preview fullscreen i get a blank screen, nothing shows up.

I have an nVidia video and i added the settings below from the troubleshoot section:
Option "VideoOverlay" "on" # add this line Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" # add this line This has not made any difference.

I also tried the deb package of eternity from this post (http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9871006) but this had the same result.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

It seems a restart of the box over the weekend did the trick - who would have thought...
