console screen saver broken? -current
Up until a few months ago the following added to /etc/rc.conf would blank the screen: # /etc/rc.conf saver=green allscreens_flags=-t 60 Now that no longer works. Can someone explain how to restore the power saving screen saver please? It doesn't seem obvious from the docs or anything else. Are the current green_saver.ko and other screen saver modules still able to blank the screen? Do splash screen work? -Alfred ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
