If you mean a console screen saver then Andrzej Bialecki posted a Matrix
saver he wrote on -hackers ages ago (but it never appeared in the src
tree). I ran it under 3.x but since syscons(4) was re-written for 4.x it
stopped working. I did start to "fix" it but never finished. I've still got
the source if you want it.
