XFree86 version 4.3.0 sleep 1; xset s activate; sleep 1; xset s activate; sleep 1; xset s activate The first "xset s activate" activates the screen saver. The second one *de*activates it. The third one does nothing visible. Actually, in this state each subsequent "xset s activate" has the effect of "xset s reset", resetting the timer for automatic screensaver activation. This also affects DPMS. This behaviour appears broken. -zefram _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
