Nearly perfect :-). I use the fade saver and when I woke up this morning, going back from the screen saver turned the VESA console text into blue. Not the whole text, just the non-brilliant one. This is not the case on non-VESA consoles. Switching to another console suffices to get back the orignal text color. I didn't tested whether the blue turns into another color if I change the default text color, but displaying various colors with vim (blue, red, yellow), it appears that all colors are, at least, darkened. Note that as far as I tested, this is not specific to any screensaver, it seems to be ensued by a generic piece of code. I tried changing the resolution and I managed to get another color : instead of blue, I got red :-). Regards, -- Jeremie Le Hen < jeremie at le-hen dot org >< ttz at chchile dot org >
