Well, don't run boinc run classic. What the hell, I'll give it a shot. This 
screen saver running all the time has added about four hours to the unit. 

I gave up with 'screen savers' a long time ago. They only get a viewing 
now for the sake of 'demos'. Hell, there's already enough 'eye candy' 
being shown off on a bog standard Linux KDE desktop, and that's /before/ 
any visual settings tweaks! Why would you want more!!

I guess I've already seen too much fancy display stuff and more for 
analysing data. A nice blank screen with the CPU running 99.99% on 
crunching something useful is much more satisfying than silly colouring 
of pixels.

Good luck with boinc.

I don't know about the graphics stuff but the CLI (command line) version 
works fine 'as is' or run as a daemon. Even better still you can now 
crunch faster with the CPU optimised clients.

Tried boinc and it don't run either. I guess that's what happens on new 
software. Never had it happen on a Mac though.
