xscreensaver error
I recently downloaded Solaris 10 and installed it on a Sun Blade 100. When the unit books up I get two error messages regarding the xscreensaver. I cannot lock the terminal because the xscreensaver is not working. Any ideas about fixing this problem. Is there someplace I can download another screensaver to replace this one?
I am new to UNIX and do not know where to start in troubleshooting this issue.

First issue beside that is this.
How do you get the screensaver to stay on all the time please?
Maybe it's the monitor going to sleep.
Then the Matrixview says 'Not installed'.
Rest of Xscreensaver choices are there.

xscreensaver-getimage-video(1) XScreenSaver manual xscreensaver-getimage-video(1)
NAME
xscreensaver-getimage-video - put a video frame on the root window
SYNOPSIS
xscreensaver-getimage-video [-display host:display.screen] [--verbose] [--stdout]
DESCRIPTION
The xscreensaver-getimage-video program is a helper program for the xscreensaver hacks that manipulate images. Specifically, it is invoked
by xscreensaver-getimage(1) as needed. This is not a user-level command.
This program grabs a random frame of video from the system's video input, and then loads it on the root window. It does this by figuring
out which frame-grabbing programs are installed on the system, and invoking the first one it finds. Then it runs xscreensaver-getim-
age-file(1) to load that image onto the root window.
OPTIONS
xscreensaver-getimage-video accepts the following options:
--verbose
Print diagnostics.
--stdout
Instead of loading the image onto the root window, write it to stdout as a PBM file.
