This is strange. Do you maybe have some kind of wobbly input device, like a joystick or anything that would make X believe there was user input?

Note that $idle refers to seconds, while the data is (should be) stored as milli seconds. > Do I need xscreensaver packages for arbtt? I don't have those installed. No, XScreenSaver is also the name of an X protocol extension and is not directly related to the program xscreensaver.
