I've used xautolock with great success. It works with xlock and xscreensaver. Here's a line from my $HOME/.fvwmrc file: # automatically lock screen after 15 minutes of inactivity # using matrix screen saver Exec "I" exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xautolock -time 15 -locker \ "/usr/X11R6/bin/xlock -mode matrix" & http://freshmeat.net/projects/xautolock/ For consoles (eg, text mode) I use 'vlock -a'.
