Does anyone have code for a screensaver for NeWS? My environment is NeWS 1.0 (but I hope to upgrade to NeWS 1.1 very soon) on Sun-3's under SunOS 4.0. By a screensaver, I mean something that monitors keystrokes and mouse movements and blanks the screen if there has been no activity for a set period of time. On a somewhat different note, are specifications for the X11/NeWS server to be incorporated in SunOS 4.1 available? I can imagine how a single server can merge the functions of an X server and a NeWS server but I can't think of how a window manager is going to function if both styles of windows can be displayed simultaneously.

I have been using the Sun-supplied screenblank program under both
NeWS and SunView and have been very satisfied. The line in my
rc.local file that starts the screenblanker looks like this:
/usr/bin/screenblank -d 900; (echo -n ' screenblank') >/dev/console
