ObRealHack:
Ok, here goes.  Trying to record some animation from an X workstation to 
Betacam via a scan convertor (tee's the signal to the monitor off to a 
seperate output).
Result: one frame then blank.
Problem: Dumbass X screensaver.
Bigger problem: No idea about the magical incantation to switch it off, 
no man pages, no other people at 3am, no time to waste. [BTW, xset -s 
off, obviously]
Solution:  Ingredients - One fan, the sort that moves back and forth; 18 
inch metal rod from a folder in a filing cabinet, roll of parcel tape. 
Procedure - tape one end of metal rod to the fan, the other to the mouse.


Later d00dz [ick!],
