Of course there are. Reboots are only really necessary for switching kernels. Unfortunately, this often takes a bit more knowledge. In the case of screensavers, a combination of kldload (to load the desired screensaver) and vidcontrol (to set timeouts and such). man kldload and man vidcontrol should get you going on this. -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
