There is a program named XScreenSaver. It overrules xset configuration, but it can be purged. After that, there is still something that the xset manpage calls 'screen saver'. AFAIK, it just blanks the screen. But how to purge this 'screen saver'? The only way to do this is by uninstalling x11-xserver-utils, I guess. But I'm no expert on this; anyone else who could formulate it better? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
