Re: [Plug] XFree locks up local console
|
I agree. My opinion is that a screensaver is a waste of good CPU cycles.
Personally, I just turn the monitor off when I'm not using the computer (and
let the computer run most of the time). Of course, it's my own *personal*
personal computer, with me being one of only two people that (theoretically)
have physical access to it. Of course, in a different setting, this might
be unacceptable without some other security measures.
