I rounded up xautolock from a previous query here, and after sorting out
the library paths it compiles fine. I'm now trying to get it to work with
X-Windows, but I've run into a snag. While I can load it fine, it refuses
to recognize the command line parameters of the specified lock program.
If anyone uses xautolock, I'd appreciate a pointer as how to get it to
listen to my requests. :-) This is Linux pl12 and X-free86 1.3 BTW.
I can load and execute xautolock, and it indeed invokes xlock (though
that's also it's default program), it doesn't recognize any of the command
line parameters. Of course, just typing the command line by itself results
in the desired action. xautolock does indeed invoke xlock with it's
defaults, so I know it's "almost" working. :-)
The command line I've tried in an xterm window is:
xautolock -locker "/usr/bin/X11/xlock -nolock -nice 0 -mode flame" &
