your right, I didn't install the glx into the Xf86config..  I figured the
port would just add it in automatically.  it works great with glclock =)
however xscreensaver doesn't work too well...  I installed as it is in
/usr/ports/x11/xscreensaver  I then exec 'xscreensaver' as a basic user in
a csh shell... get a prompt with options "Demo" "Prefs" and "Help".  I
click demo and here is the verbose output:
xscreensaver: selecting events on extant windows... done.
xscreensaver-demo: not found
xscreensaver: child pid 8449 (<unknown>) exited abnormally (code 127).

the demo binary doesn't exist...
same error with "Prefs"
the only binary I did find was xscreensaver-command.  just wondering what
the deal is with that and why I don't have a -demo binary?
