mouse button on my Logitech mouse to cycle through the different
screensavers, xlock exits with the following error:

When I try and set the CMOS clock I get the following error:

I would be most grateful if someone could tell me why it doesn't work.
Thanks.

Someone kindly suggested I run "strace clock". I am not familiar with
strace, but it did seem to give some potentially useful information.
