Yes. Screen savers are KLD modules, just like before. There is no built-in screen savers. Also, you need to preload a KLD image decoder module and image data itself in order to have splash screen at start up. The pseudo-device splash implements necessary interface between the console driver and KLD splash/saver modules; it's not a screen saver itself.
