Well, I read some, but I evidently didn't read enough. I want xscreensaver to be run at boot time, and I created an .xinitrc in my home directory with the following contents: #!/bin/sh xscreensaver ..but it didn't work. Is there something somewhere that needs to tell .xinitrc to do its thing, or am I completely off base here? -- Lane ____ Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA Using Linux to get where I want to go...
