I found what needed to be changed to get the screen saver working. The problem is now that is is working, all it is doing is changing the one byte at (0,0) on the screen. When it kicks on (after 300 seconds), I see spot (0,0) to wild with flashing characters and nothing else is changed. I'll a few more bits of info: * I'm not using X * Since console messages show up on the alt-f1 screen, and I don't want to screw them up, I am almost always in one of the others -- normally alt-f2, where I am running the "systat -vmstat 2" command. Thanks again... Lee
