I installed the 15.10 development release from the server image,
installed Openbox and then run a release upgrade to 16.04. Since my
xorg.conf is used, I suspect I'm using X.

Apart from this, the OP mentioned that xscreensaver works, just
autostart doesn't.

Unfortunately I can't help the OP with the audtostart issue, unless the
OP should use openbox, too.
