This is a nice dimmer and in fact we use it on our A/UX Macs.
However, it must be run manually from the console once after booting.
It cannot be run automatically from the inittab file, else it will not
be associated with the console and tends to cause many other troubles.

We have a student lab and the A/UX machines get rebooted a lot.  Don't
ask me why, I guess students can't read the "Do not reboot" signs.  In
any case, we would really like a screen saver that can be run from the
inittab file.  Any hints???--
