Before logon, our thin clients display a blank screen after some time interval. Press return and the X login box is displayed. Not a screen saver but it does save the monitor (err more about this later). After login, ie when desktop is displayed, you can configure the screen saver but experience has shown that it hammers the server. Maybe screen saver should run as a local application? I must investigate this one day. Currently we run a nightly cron job which resets backgrounds and switches off screen savers on all of the user accounts. Wider issue. Do we really need to run screen savers these days? I can.t say that I've noticed any monitors with a picture permanently etched into the phoshor like we used to see. I'd be surprised if a TFT monitor suffers any burn (I have no experience with these - we can't afford them). -- Regards Martin Woolley ICT Support Handsworth Grammar School Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Demeter Kali Inanna ************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
