Hello,

If you put this line in a startup script like ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc 

xautolock -time 5 -locker "xlock" 

xlock will be automatically launch after five minutes of inactivity. «man
xautolock» and «man xlock» to configure xlock and xautolock exactly like
want.

Note: it's absolutely not FreeBSD specific.

Hope it help.
roland.
