We used to use Pyro and / or the Radiusware screen savers under MacOS, but it seems that neither work under A/UX 2.0. * can they be made to work? How? * what screensaver do others use? [ I'd prefer something which monitors user inactivity rather than just checking utmp, but either will do at a pinch ] * is there something similar to Sun's FBIOSVIDEO, FBVIDEO_OFF / ON which I can use to switch the video on and off? How do I use it? [ TFM don't seem to be shipping over here]. David

[ I'd prefer something which monitors user I've found that the current release of Moire in sumex works fine in either the global or private system folders. I tried loading it into the login system folder. It flashes its icon when the login screen is coming up, but it DOES NOT work (nor seem to cause any trouble) once the login screen comes on. I even tried adding a control panel to the login system folder, in hopes Icould turn moire on, but no luck, I can't get a control panel. I'd love to find a way to get moire working in the login screen. Any suggestions? bob prohaska

The only problem I have is if I put it in the system folder for the "Login" screen. (You know, the one it would be most helpful to have it on...) Anyway, it won't let you login, even with a consloe window. After Dark does not seem to want to die when the login takes affect and keeps the login from completing. Any suggestions???

A note about After Dark as a screen saver under AUX 2.0---
After Dark seems to not see key events. Therefor, if you are typeing
away in your CommandShell, After Dark will kick in right in the middle
of your work. For this reason alone, I removed After Dark. Otherwise,
it was wonderful...
