console video modes and console screensavers

2008-08-03 Thread R Dicaire
Hi folks...I was using allscreens mode of MODE_282 but I noticed the
console screensaver never kicked in. When I went back to a standard
80x25 mode, screensaver works. Is this normal behaviour?

Apparently it is ..
My kernel conf looks like this (relevant part only):

# VGA
device  vga # VGA video card driver

# Vesa support and options
options VESA# VESA support (man syscons)
options SC_PIXEL_MODE   # SC Screen Resolution (man syscons)
options SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR=(FG_LIGHTRED|BG_BLACK) # Kernel message will 
be printed red on black

# Splash and ScreenSaver support
device  splash  # Splash screen and screen saver support

# syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console
device  sc

on /etc/rc.d

allscreens_flags=MODE_280

On that scenario, the only working screensaver seems to be logo_saver ... 
the rest of the screensavers don't work.

Indeed, that works for me using MODE_282, thank you very much.
