type `ee /etc/sysconfig', press CTRL-E to search for the string "saver",
and edit the line "blanktime" and the line "saver" as per instructions
shown.  Then save the file and reboot.

This won't work if you are running X Windows.  If you are, then you need
not reboot, but you must run `beforelight' or some similar program.  The
ports collection has a port a screensaver, I think.  Putting
`xscreensaver&' into your .xinitrc is probably easiest.

Yes.  See above.
