How to > do this (Linux seems to do this automatically)? Thanks. You need to load a screensaver first; edit /etc/rc.conf and add saver="green" (or run "kldload green_saver" as root).

I think "man 4 screensaver" lists all the ones that come with the base system. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
