is it possible to lock X, optionally consoles, such that no screensaver runs? i looked in xlock(1), but didn't see any option to do that. it sure does run hacks w/o locking, but not the other way around. did i miss something in the manpage? or, is it just not possible? any other program, perhaps? for the curious (and paient)... i am using dell inspiron 5000e laptop. so, it has lcd. of course. which shows grey/white blank screen after some period of inactivity. which renders otherwise wonderful programs' visual output useless. in addition, these programs cause computer to generate more noise and heat than when i use computer actively. occasional mozilla, world, et cetera building notwithstanding. i would have put something on the lcd needle (to turn it off), but i remember computer to go in suspend/stand by mode. which is more harmful (than the noise+heat) as apm sucks on it. which causes hard reboots... eventually. -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
