I run 3 screens at the moment on a 7600, one on the onboard, another on two
old crappy but faithful video pci cards. I want a screen saver that can tell
when one of the screens has not been used a while and just operate on that
one, leaving the others affected. This might be a tall ask as my 3 operate
as one screen. Blackwatch (a saver) treats it as such. And of course, the
energy control panel is not any more discriminating. That leaves my hand on
on off buttons or bright/contrast controls to do this manually...

Two of my screens are easy to turn down with a nob but the newest and
sharpest, the 17", is one with the video machine type press button causing
on screen navigation... more troublesome to quickly turn down brightness and
contrast, hence my question.

Hang on, just thought of something...

Made a pic of blackness 1024*768 that I drop from a collapsed state on the
screen concerned... but there is still the title bar... (and *having* to
have a program open to run this, tho this is ok as I mostly have it
running). 

But... yes, in the PS tools palette, the right most bottom button will full
screen it. um... maybe if I made an applescript to keyboard trigger the all
black. Will think about this later, my brain is hurting now...

Ah... an improvement on above: no need to have such a big pic, 1 px * 1px
black will do and full screening blackens all. Maybe there is an idea here
to develop a particular screen screen saver?

Please forgive me, I forgot to take my pills today.. but my orig question
still stands...
