Hi Everyone, I have acquired an old iMac and installed FreeBSD 10.1 RELEASE on it. I am a programming novice and have been searching google for a way to get a console screensaver for the iMac. I came across an old post dated *Thu Dec 20 10:20:50 PST 2007 * I followed the thread but am still a bit confused. The following is taken from a post on *Thu Dec 20 21:02:48 PST 2007* >* It already works with: *>* device splash *>* device blank_saver * An unexpected syscons success story :) I got a bit excited and tried to build daemon saver, only to hit a few compile errors and unresolved symbols. Easy to fix though. With all this syscons excitement, the other obvious piece missing is the s/w mouse cursor. It's possible to select regions, though useless since the cursor can't be seen. Another piece that would be easy to fix for those sufficiently motivated. I am wondering what the compile errors were? The Daemon saver is on all of my FreeBSD systems and would like to get it working on the iMac as well. I can read C but am new to modifying parts of FreeBSD. any help would be appreciated. Andrew.
