For xfce, you might try this: Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Application Autostart Scroll down and uncheck Screensaver.
There may be additional things you need to do to make sure session stuff isn't loading screensavers through some other mechanism (i.e, squirreled away in a saved session or something). For that you might need to explicitly exit the screensaver (either through Settings Manager > Screensaver or a command line like xscreensaver-command -exit) And you likely need the xset stuff you already did on top of that. Of course, all of that is assuming you are using xscreensaver. ps -ef | grep screensave might be useful if the above doesn't work out for you. mrc PS: I dropped emc-users. I think the netiquette these days is to NOT post to multiple email groups, as it is likely a respondent isn't subscribed to all of them.
