If I were to make one suggestion, it would be to animate Beastie, so that he walks around the screen rather than teleporting everywhere. However, I'm quite fond of the green_saver module, which shuts down my monitor after 15 minutes. Other screensavers are really just for entertainment; I think green_saver is the only one that serves a really good purpose. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
