Hi all,
As the maintainer of xscreensaver, I have a few questions for users
and potential users.
When xscreensaver is compiled with Motif, it has a few additional
capabilities:

xscreensaver-command, or automatically after a c
It sounds like there is a problem with your .xsession script (if you
have one), or the file /etc/X11/window-managers. If you have a
.xsession script, everything should be started in the background,
except for the last thing (usually the window manager, could be an
xterm, though). If not, make sur
For the console, I believe "setterm -blank 0" is what you want. It
won't change the X screen blanker, though, which uses a different
mechanism. You can use xset, or I believe there is an option to set
the blank time in the XF86Config file.

This has been hashed through a few times. There is not, has never
been, and probably will never be an official Debian package based on
the XFree Beta releases, since they do not provide source for the

This has a number of problems, namely:
