I have a PPC PowerBook, but this program should run in Rosetta.

Backlight

If not, or if somebody has another possibility, I would love to see it.

That application is much more user friendly, but if you can manage a command line string...

/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background &

It's actually kinda spiffy with the RSS Screensaver.

To end the screensaver, you would then type "kill" (without quotes) and the process ID. Or a ctrl-c.
