References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk FWIW, this is not exactly related to your problem, but no screensaver works under 2.2.1-Release when I use pcvt (unreferenced code ?) instead of the SCO-like console. I think there might be an update on NetBSD that supports this. Pedro.
