In local.freebsd.questions you write:
>I feel like such a fool for asking this...
>In /etc/rc.conf, I can see the setting that determines the terminal screen
>saver. So I suppose I have to questions:
>1) What are the names of the various screen savers?
% grep saver /etc/defaults/rc.conf
saver="NO" # screen saver: Uses /modules/${saver}_saver.ko
% ls /modules/*_saver.ko
/modules/apm_saver.ko /modules/logo_saver.ko
/modules/blank_saver.ko /modules/rain_saver.ko
/modules/daemon_saver.ko /modules/snake_saver.ko
/modules/fade_saver.ko /modules/star_saver.ko
/modules/fire_saver.ko /modules/warp_saver.ko
/modules/green_saver.ko
So, possible values are: "daemon", "snake" etc
>2) Hos does one change the terminal screen setting once the system has
>booted?
man vidcontrol
To look at different savers you can do:
# kldload snake_saver
# vidcontrol -t 4
(wait a few seconds for saver to kick in... look at it... hit space)
# vidcontrol -t off
# kldunload snake_saver
(etc)
What actually happens at boot can be figured out by reading
/etc/rc.syscons (or a part of /etc/rc.i386 for not-so-recent systems).
