If I do SELECT program_name, port_path, cool_graduation FROM Freebsd_Available_Ports WHERE uses = 'screensaver' ORDER BY cool_graduation; I get more than one line ;) Personally xscreensaver is too heavy for me. I use xautolock to fire slock (both in ports and share the first position on the query). In my fluxbox startup file (similar on other window managers) I have: xautolock -time 1 -locker slock & Where 1 is 1 minute and slock blocks X until enter user password. You can execute slock directly %slock to lock X window. > Fonz > > Ad (*): Xscreensaver is a bundle of several distinct screensaver > programs, which are called hacks in xscreensaver lingo. > > -- > A.J.
