I'm trying to figure out how to shut off the bloody screen saver in KDE from a script. I've tried using xset as such: # xset s off # xset dpms 0 0 0 # xset dpms force off And xscreensaver like this: #xscreensaver-command -exit Of course going into the KDE control panel and deselecting it works but I want to be able to control it from a script. The xscreensaver man pages said something about KDE creating a wrapper around xscreensaver and suggested turning of the KDE version and autostarting xscreensaver itself. I'm sure there has to be a way of programmatically controlling it, no? Thanks for any help, Jeff Birt Electronics Engineer Integrated Systems Facility University of Missouri - Rolla 573.341.6058
