Hi again,

While I'm in the mood to ask questions here'a another. I am trying to get a 
screen saver to run after an arbitary number of minutes of inactivity on my X 
terminal. To achive this I have installed from the ports x11/autolock, 
x11/xlock & x11/xscreensaver and have placed the following in my 
$HOME/.xinitrc file

xautolock -locker "xlock -mode matrix" &

but nothing happens. I can run the "xlock -mode matrix" manually and all works 
fine but it refused to run automatically, I get nothing, nada. No log messages 
anywhere that I can find.

I would apreciate a pointer or two.

Thanks for your time.

David.
