Right now I dont use any.  Thats why I am thinking of makeing one.

There is one called csd or ConsoleSaver on freshmeat.net but it is not
a screen saver in the sence that it is a damon that starts when SDTIN
is not active for a period of time.  In fact it is in version 0.01pre
and has been that way for over a year.  

I would emagin that one would not be hard to build.

find out what criteria "console blanking" uses to cut the display and
rewrite as a seperet damon to launch a saver instead.
aalib could be used to handle the actual graphics.

/me pictures a naked dancing lady screensaver in ascii vision.

GUI's are for slackers.  Get ibpconf.sh 6.1 on freshmeat.net  
It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.
