- Kai Uwe Rommel has a screen saver (scrutl) which works by:
- The possible cards are 8514/A, VGA, EGA and Monochrome. This screen
- saver does not use and Presentation Manager functions to perform
- the screen blanking but rather uses hardware capabilities of the
- display cards to blank the screen. This has the advantage, that no
- screen redraw has to be done when the screen is switched back on.
- In addition, it cannot interfere with running programs (as long as
- they do not change the current screen palette).

- Look on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in pub/os2/all/miscutils (?).
