[Buildroot] Is ther an X screen saver/locker?

[Michael Rommel]

Hi Woody,

there is a program called xautolock (not yet in BR), which is fairly small and you can call an external program as screensaver, e.g. feh which is included in buildroot already.

It can be found here: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/X11/screensavers/xautolock-2.2.tgz

I have not tried to compile it, as I am not very familiar with X programs under buildroot. It seems to need xmkmf, which I couldn't find in BR, so I did not investigate any further.

Best regards,

  Michael.
