All of the other screen savers work just fine. Running a modstat shows that the fade saver is loading at the same address as all of the other savers. Examining the crash dump shows that it faults right at the line in in syscons.c where it attempts to call the screen saver (making it look like the saver never loaded, but modstat says it is fine). I tried sup-ing the entire source tree this morning and doing a full kernel built, and rebuilding everything in /usr/src/lkm, along with new modstat/modload/modunload command with no better luck. Can anyone else get this screen saver to work, or am I the only unlucky one? And if it is just happening to me, anyone have any ideas why? -- Mike Pritchard pritc003@maroon.tc.umn.edu "Go that way.
