I'm currently using an app called "xBack", which is very nice... It lets you select a screensavor from a list on a drop down menu from the title bar... and let's you set it to run on log in. But I ran in to an error using it. For whatever reason, it must screw around with the desktop properties, because when I try to eject a disk, it tells me I don't have enough access privileges to eject it. I had to log in graphically in to root just to eject my disk! After a long tech session with a friend at TenPlus Systems (a local mac joint) we found out it was the xBack application for whatever reason. With it off I can eject disks just fine.

Does anybody know the string to run a screensaver in the background? Or, even better, another program that I can use to do this?

Get Backlight of Version tracker, works great. I have the code in a text file someplace to, but backlight works great for me.

In a terminal:

Code:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background

Is there a terminal code that lets you run the desktop on two screens on a dual display thats spanned? Any freeware that does this? I like backlight, but it only does one monitor. I know xBack does both screens, but I'm not going to pay $12.00 for something like that.

It's back...to feast upon the flesh of living threads.
