The biggest problem with most screen savers, as Marc mentioned, is that they
tend to be "invasive".  In the past n years (n > 4 :-)) I've only used two
screensavers: "Autoblack" on a Mac Plus, and "Dimmer" on my Mac II.  Both
of these have the advantage that they don't interfere with whatever's running,
including its screen display.  Autoblack does this by reserving the alternate
screen buffer at boot time and flipping to it to save the screen, and Dimmer
works by manipulating the Mac II video card's color-correction (gamma) table
to effectively turn down the brightness.  It's very slick.

I've never had *any* compatibility problems with either of these screensavers.
They don't put up fancy string art patterns or fireworks--they do one thing
well, and that is turning off (or down) your screen if you haven't done
anything for while.  That's all I want.
