My main aim was to make it as low-overhead as possible for my poor old firewall box, but animating him wouldn't add much, especially on modern computers. :) > However, I'm quite fond of the green_saver module, which shuts down my > monitor after 15 minutes.

I agree; however I'm running FreeBSD on my firewall box, which has an old vga monitor which isn't DPMS-capable, so it doesn't really ever shut down unless I turn it off. For all I know I may be the only one who actually uses these screensavers.
