maybe i don't understand, but if you run 'xscreensaver-demo', there is an option under 'file' to kill the daemon; when you want to restart it do 'x-d' again & it will ask. that's what i do when i leave my machine unattended & switch off the monitor -- mine's a desktop, not a laptop -- to save CPU effort. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
