- In /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xlogin, just before the visuallogin check, add this:
- (/your/screen/saver stuff here < /dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &)
- The i/o redirection and backgrounding are necessary; I don't remember
- if running it in the subshell (parens) is.

- You could of course change the resources to use your own copy of the
- Xlogin file. The Xlogin file is not marked as a config file, and will
- get replaced if you install new OS releases, so make a copy if you
- don't change the resources to use an alternate Xlogin.
