xscreensaver invocation location
i have an issue where it appears i'm running version 3.24 of xscreensaver but when the screensaver actually activates it shows version 4.12 on the xscreensaver unlock/lock screen. the node is running solaris 8 which is connected to a server running irix. the node has no .xscreensaver in any of the home directories but does have an XScreenSaver populated file in /usr/openwin/lib/app-defaults/. more'ing the XScreenSaver file in the aforementioned path reveals a version 3.24 of xscreensaver. any idea where solaris may actually invoke xscreensaver (version 4.12)? the server also has the same XScreenSaver file showing version 3.24 in the same path.
attempting to diagnose if what appears to be a xscreensaver version location conflict may be causing a monitor to blank in a dual display configuration running off an xvr-100.
