Does Blackbox have any sort of screen saver or anythign? Or does it turn off the monitor after a certain period of time? If not, is there any screen saver I could get and where? Thanks.

You can use xscreensaver .. It's pretty much the same one used on all the other wm's, just it isn't a part of the wm. You would then add a line to your .xinitrc that calls it up when you startx. Search freshmeat, the page for it should have all the info you need.

xscreensaver -timeout 20 &

that will start the screen saver after 20 minutes.

xscreensaver --help will show you what else you can do with it.

In the contest for longest xscreensaver line in your ~/.xinitrc, here's my entry

xscreensaver -timeout 10 -lock-mode -no-splash &
