My kernel conf looks like this (relevant part only): # VGA device vga # VGA video card driver # Vesa support and options options VESA # VESA support (man syscons) options SC_PIXEL_MODE # SC Screen Resolution (man syscons) options SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR=(FG_LIGHTRED|BG_BLACK) # Kernel message will be printed red on black # Splash and ScreenSaver support device splash # Splash screen and screen saver support # syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console device sc on /etc/rc.d allscreens_flags="MODE_280" On that scenario, the only working screensaver seems to be "logo_saver" ... the rest of the screensavers don't work.
