There is another porgram involved that needs to be rewritten, /boot/beos/bin/screen_blanker This one seems to be responsible for screen blanking, asking for password, start / stopping the screen saver, etc. And you also want to replace screen_blanker and the inputer server filter at the same time, so you don't need to reverse engineer the protocol used between this two apllications, but are free to create your own. You will remain binary compatibility with sceen_saver add-ons, even when the internal communication is different. regards Marcus
