[comp.windows.open-look] X screensaver for OW?

fgreco@govt.shearson.com (Frank Greco) (05/30/91)

In the MIT version of X, there was a screensaver facility
in the server that was controllable via xset.  OpenWindows
(ie, xnews) doesn't seem to acknowledge this.

Does anyone know if this is a known bug?

Thanks,

Frank G.

We run OpenWindows 2.0 with OLWM and have noticed the same problem. Did
you set up the screen saver parameters via the xset command? These seem to
have no effect with us.

I was wondering about that myself.  The xset s command has no affect
on the X server.  If any one has any help to offer, please reply via
e-mail.

Thanks,
Lance
