xscreensaver-command -exit should disable it once off, also xscreensaver-demo will give you a window in which to configure it (which will be slow on a connection to qld). Are you sure it's supposed to be "0:00"? The manpage I'm reading says something like timeout: 0 without the colon, in .xscreensaver. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
