> That sounds like "beastie", which was never removed. Just add: Damn right! That one is so cute. Of all the freaking screensavers I have seen in my life, Beastie (the old Logo) is the most adorable. If I were to enumerate why FreeBSD is better than Linux in text mode, Beastie and the non-blinking cursor would be the prime factors. However, this gets me into a few problems: Beastie is available only in text mode. Is there I can get Beastie in an X session ? My Cooler Master keyboard's backlights unfortunately only work in X with 'xset led on'. Is there some way I can turn on the backlights in text mode ? My keyboard backlight switch maps to the Scroll Lock key, a bad choice for FreeBSD usage because FreeBSD uses that for exactly what it is supposed to do. (Pressing the Scroll Lock before booting has begun does not work : it turns on the backlights as well locks scrolling). So this part of the question effectively becomes : how to execute 'xset led on' in text mode ? Thanks for help Manish Jainhelp
