Screensaver doesn't launch, primary or secondary display. #25

Built the geiss-main using VS Studio Common and suggested cmake options. Located geiss.scr.exe, copied it as "geiss-scr.scr" to System32 and SYSWOW64. Located geiss-scr in cpl for screensaver, chose "Display 2" (an external Vizio 32-in monitor connected via Dell Thunderbolt dock, Intel IRIX graphics). Screensaver preview did not launch, hung up display on primary screen (Dell Precision 5570 laptop screen). Re-launched on primary (laptop) screen, screen went black, flickered, came back. No joy.

@BrightApollo could you try with the binaries built by CI at https://github.com/geissomatik/geiss/actions/runs/5757723382 ? I've been using the Geiss screensaver with Wine on Linux and did not experience issues like that.

They do not work, in a similar manner to my own build.

@BrightApollo thanks for trying. I'm not sure how to best proceed from here.

It won't run on my system either (Win10). Guess this has something to do with it:
