Hi there mate.

I see you've CC'ed me but I'm not the maintainer of this port. You
probably want to get in touch with jsa at .

Anyway, I've taken a quick look and have attached an updated patch for
xscreensaver.c. I couldn't test it as I run 8.x and -CURRENT on all of
my boxes though. If you care to try it, copy the attached file in
vlc/files and do a 'make clean all'.

Cheers.
