What do I do to get a fully functioning screen saver?
my .xsession file looks like this.
xscreensaver &
exec wmaker
it first starts the screensaver in the bg and then gives control to the window
manager.
when you log in there pops up a screensaver window for a few seconds where you
can configure the screensaver.
I just looked where the screen standby is configured, but I think this is, at
least on my system, done by the bios.
