Right now I dont use any. Thats why I am thinking of makeing one. There is one called csd or ConsoleSaver on freshmeat.net but it is not a screen saver in the sence that it is a damon that starts when SDTIN is not active for a period of time. In fact it is in version 0.01pre and has been that way for over a year. I would emagin that one would not be hard to build. find out what criteria "console blanking" uses to cut the display and rewrite as a seperet damon to launch a saver instead. aalib could be used to handle the actual graphics. /me pictures a naked dancing lady screensaver in ascii vision. > > -- > ,----------------------------. ___________________ ` _ ' > | Christian Mertes aka mudd1 | ... |c_mertes@bigfoot.de|- (_) - ... > `---------------------------(_ ( oo) |___________________| ' ` (. .) > ----------------------------ooO--(_)--Ooo-------| |--------------ooO--(_)--Ooo- -- --(tty1@faux.local|04:45|/home/faux)-- cat .sig GUI's are for slackers.
