The one time I was acutually able to run Seti@home using Boic (I'm havent run a work unit for two weeks now), the screen oscillates annoyingly. I'd much rather see that RAM used for work processing than bouncing the display around so that I can't see what's going on. |

Another idea: Just not use the screensaver! I stopped displaying it right after the first days of seti-ing in 1999 because I want to have all free cycles for Seti and not have a screensaver eating up half of them. :-)= Greybeard All about BOINC: BOINC-Wiki (by Paul D. Buck) |

Customizing SETI@home graphicsCustomizing SETI@home graphics I agree the oscillating screen is annoyingly (and unreadable) but I can under stand the reason for the oscillation. Someone was trying to prevent the sceen burn-in problem the occurs on CRT display when something is display the does not move for a long time (like a screensaver). Jim K lists a web page that tells how to stop the oscellations but it doesn't help the readablity problem (fuzzy letters). Good Luck |
