Try to lower timeout (vidcontrol -t 5 </dev/ttyv0), and see
whether your saver works.
If no, check:
- whether you have `pseudo-device splash' in your kernel config
- whether you have /modules/${saver}_saver.ko
One more thing I noticed. Whenever a message is displayed on
your current vty, saver will stop. So, if your active vty is
console (/dev/ttyv0), saver will stop every time a message is
put on console.
