Has anyone written a screenblanker that runs without a windowing system active? Since X11R2 can blank the screen, it's obviously possible, but I haven't been able to find any. It would be sufficient that the screen was blanked only when nobody was logged on (when people are logged on, they're generally running X11 which already can blank screens), although it would be nicer if the screenblanker could work all the time. Thanks in advance; I will post a summary if interest warrants. -- "I shall clasp my hands together and bow to the corners of the world."
