SOLUTION: Add the following line to the .xinitrc file in your home directory: xset s on Here are the various parameter settings for screen saver. xset s on/off -> turn the screen saver on or off. xset s blank -> blank the screen when saving if the hardware supports it. xset s noblank -> display a pattern rather than blanking the screen xset s length period -> where length and period are numeric fields The length is the inactive time before the screen saver takes effect. The period is the time before the pattern is changed to avoid burn in. If only one numeric field is used then it is assumed to be the length. DATE APPROVED: 09/05/95
