I can see your point, but it still would be nice to use it. If I cannot, then I will just go with out one. Who knows, maybe the next monitor I get will have a built in one.

Any screensaver works for you? even the one that is built in to the monitor?

Well I am using a Vizio TV/Monitor that I got from my wife's garage sale. It actually work well with the Firebee. I am not sure it has a screen saver. I have left it on for 5-10 minutes and nothing, but I will it it's settings. I will also try the Rage screensaver and see if it works. It still boggles my mind why a lot of people can run Twilight with their FB. I have load ed my FB with the original CF that came with it and it still did not work.
well, i will try that CPX screen saver next time I have my FB out.
My Falcon/CT63 is currently setup in my small man cave.

Well that screen does work for me. I get a blank screen, so I guess that works for me until I can figure out Twilight. I tried 256 and 16bit color and Twilight still crashes when it tries to display what ever screen saver I have set it to. I would love to get it working, but for now, I will settle for a blank screen. If any has any ideas, please let know. Thanks....
Glad that at least one saver worked for you.
I do not use Twilight, never used any screen savers, even on my windows.
I use all with LCD, which still burn-in but not as bad as CRT.

i´d like to mention that you can use the always available and most efficient screensaver - the monitor power switch
Actually that's what I do if I leave my Falcon on and I need to go off for 10 mins. Any longer, I would just shutdown. Would be nice to have a sleep mode.
On my windoze, I put it to sleep mode and power off my monitor.

A SLEEP function (SLP) was even added in the hardware and manageable
by a software (an ACC or a CPX) to 'sleep" the machine (like the
windows menu).
I have never tried it, so I do not know if it works, but it seems there is a chance that its implemented and works.
I never saw that in my CT60 CPX.
You have it on your's ??
What version is your's.... mine is 2.02 from May 2012

Yes, it was also in the HYP of v2.0 which I have ( I do not have the v2.01 HYP).
I mean the software ACC/CPX mentioned, I do not see it in my CT60CONF.CPX.
My guess is there is another ACC/CPX for it?

Oh, In that case, i found the software to do that.... years ago already.
