There are many ways to get it going: (assuming a fairly new version of FreeBSD) /stand/sysinstall Configure Console Saver Daemon ---OR--- kldload daemon_saver.ko (set timeout with 'vidcontrol -t N' where N is in seconds, default is 300) this will not persist if you reboot, use the next one for that ---OR--- add the lines to /etc/rc.conf : saver="daemon" blanktime="300" and reboot to enable or use #2 solution as well ---THAT'S IT--- ways you might have figured this out yourself: man screensaver look through /etc/defaults/rc.conf, that is where most of the system configuration is done (well, the changes gets put in /etc/rc.conf, but you get my drift). search the FAQ, Handbook, and mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search (normally this is your first choice but in this case I found most of the information to be irrelavent or grossly outdated) Please try to find the solution yourself before resorting to a mailing list.
