What exactly are LKM's? The concept I have currently is that they are an extension of the Kernel that can be loaded as needed. Hence the option "ATAPI_STATIC" would prevent ATAPI support from only being loaded when needed? Screen savers are LKM's because it would be silly to build them into the kernel as they would bloat it beyond acceptable levels, yet they need some sort of direct kernel integration? Is my concept correct? Why are the screensavers included with FreeBSD LKM's?
