I just received my new RS2030, and everything seems to work great - except for the screen saver that is running under xdm. The line in /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers reads: :0 secure /usr/bin/X11/X -bs -su -s 5 -v -logo What I would like to see the screen saver do is turn off the video, leaving a blank, black screen, like most screen savers do. I have tried setting nologo, and have -v set for video off. I can force the screen to go black by setting root to solid black, but this seems like a strange way to go about it. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. +--------- |Eric Putz (303)492-1474 |MCD Biology, Campus Box 347, University of Colorado, Boulder CO 80309 |putz@Boluder.Colorado.EDU

I forget what the default timeout is... somewhere around 60 seconds.
