After installing xscreensaver in Arch Linux my laptop has started displaying fancy, battery-depleting animations when nobody is looking. How do I configure this to use the blank mode via the command line (i.e., without xscreensaver-demo)?

You can configure this in either ~/.Xresources:
xscreensaver.mode: blank or ~/.xscreensaver:
mode: blank To verify:
xrdb -load ~/.Xresources killall xscreensaver xscreensaver -no-splash & Then press Ctrl-Alt-L, and stare into the unblinking eye of infinity.
