Archived from groups: comp>unix>bsd>freebsd>misc (more info?)

I have recently discovered that I can use some screensavers in text mode
, not on the shell, but before starting X.

I am using FreeBSD6.1, I have found three screensavers available,
"snake","daemon" and "blank" they are all included in FreeBSD by
default, just had to change some setting in rc.conf to activate them.

Anybody knows what other screensavers I can use that come already
included with a default FreeBSD installation?

I have searched the FreeBSD handbook with the words "screensaver" and
"snake" but nothings comes up.

According to my source tree: dragon, fade, fire, green, logo, rain, star and
warp also exist. Check src/sys/dev/syscons.
