One way to get more info on exactly what is going on is to run xscreensaver in debug/verbose mode. Simply kill the existing xscreensaver daemon (pkill xscreensaver) and start a new daemon (/usr/openwin/bin/xscreensaver -debug -verbose). Keep the terminal window you typed the above command to your right half of the screen and you will see debug messages coming out of xscreensaver and some of the PAM stack messages. This will shed more light on what the issue is.
Also, make sure you have the latest xscreensaver patch from sunsolve 120094-21 (Sparc) and 120095-21(x86). Send the debug output from xscreensaver if you still see the black screen. The debug output captures the typed passwd so make sure you edit that out before sending it. --mahmood ps: You can also send the debug output to a file % /usr/openwin/bin/xscreensaver -verbose 2>>/tmp/xscreen.out & Verbose mode is sufficient to gather debug info....with -debug only left half of screen is locked, check man xscreensaver for detailed info.
