The only way you can get saver to work in console mode is to add this to /boot/loader.conf and reboot : kern.vty=sc The default console driver under 11.x is vt. If you use sc, your saver will begin to work, but then X will refuse to start (happens under 10.3/11.0). If you manage to get it to work under 11.1 - good luck ! Regards Manish Jain
