    Typically to change the screensaver in xfce, you go into Settings -> Display and there's an option. However in this version that comes with the One, there are no options at all.

    Anyone know how to change the screensaver on these things?

    Acer has answered this in their "Technical FAQ's" http://support-web.acer-euro.com/app/cs ... enDocument

    Thanks! I didn't bother to look it up on their site because even the docs on the AA1 are wrong.

    When I try to change the screensaver I get the error message:

    Failed to execute file: (name of screensaver)
    Failed to execute child process
    "floaters" (No such file or directory).

    I get this for all the screensavers I try.

    Any ideas???

    You need to scroll down the page and double click on the Screensaver program itself. There is a "screensavers" folder near the top, but what you want is lower down the list. Hope this helps.

    You rock. I can't believe I didn't see that. Thanks, now I have floating feet as a screensaver!

    Cool!
