Hi again,

I have re-done it in the same computer with the same result, and I have
redone it in another computer (still using the same i386).

IBM Thinkpad T42:

http://www.cnet.com/laptops/lenovo-thinkpad-t42-2373/4507-3121_7-31155666.html

-o-

But it works if I lock with

xscreensaver-command -lock

or activate xscreensaver and let it auto-lock using

xscreensaver-demo


Best regards
Nio
