Up until a few months ago the following added to /etc/rc.conf would 
blank the screen:

# /etc/rc.conf
saver="green"
allscreens_flags="-t 60"

Now that no longer works.

Can someone explain how to restore the power saving screen saver please?

It doesn't seem obvious from the docs or anything else.

Are the current "green_saver.ko" and other screen saver modules still 
able to blank the screen?

Do splash screen work?
