I have recently installed a Graphire4 WACOM Tablet and updated driver. The BOINC Screensaver launches based on Preferences, but immediately returns to the active desktop screen.

When I designate a "hot corner" to launch BOINC, it reacts the same way.

I am running BOINC on a Macintosh G5 with dual monitors (OSX 10.3.7) and BOINC (5.2.13).

I have not tried it yet on a different CPU under the current MAC OSX (10.4.7) or the appropriate BOINC.version.

This was discussed recently in thread 1025 "5.4.9 screensaver problem on OS X 10.4.7 PPC":
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=1025

This is a known problem abd will be fixed in future releases of the various science projects (SETI@home, Einstein@home, Rosetta@home, etc.)

Please always check the existing threads before posting a question to the forums; there is a good chance your question has already been answered.

Cheers,
--Charlie

Thanks, Charlie. I contacted WACOM developers and they located and referenced the earlier posting.

If you are looking for BETA testers, I'm a heavy MAC user, both at work and home and have BOINC setup on several MACs and a PC.

Alpha testers on the Mac are always welcome. Please check The BOINC Alpha project for details on how to become on.
