i think it is actually a hardware powersave mode (BIOS, C-d at startup),
and not a software screensaver, could it be?

actually, i was serious about slapping keyboards ($20), mice ($50, make
them good ones!) and monitiors (maybe the ones we replaced with fancy
lcd dislays) on the spuds. quick fix, and we could have 8 extra
terminals! technically we would not have a farm anymore, but i'll bet
the impact on performance would be minimal. it would be a lot easier on
the network, too, since we 'ssh spudX' right off the bat anyways.
