Oh, yeah, this I have. However,
[sheol] /usr/home/hawkeyd$ kldstat
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 2 0xc0100000 28a868 kernel
2 1 0xc0af6000 2000 blank_saver.ko
It seems that the pseudo-device doesn't actually link the saver into the
kernel, but just some sort of interface layer? If I'm right, with your
patch, I'd have that layer, but no screen saver?
