Hello.

I get the message "Could not connect to screensaver of application Gamma-ray pulsar search #5." The screenaver does pop up for an instant when a key is touched. BOINC is running on a 2024 Macbook Pro (M4 Max.) I did see that the Einstein screensaver is supposed to run on Apple ARM processors, but it seems that still requires OpenGL. Apple apparently no longer supports OpenGL on its processors in favor of Metal. If this is the problem, is there any way that the screensaver application could be modified to provide OpenGL 4.6 compatability on Metal?

Thanks.

Short answer: Probably not, but this is not the place to ask.

From now on, you should take your project specific questions to the project forums of what project you have a question/problem about their application(s). The specific project administrator or a volunteer can answer your question(s) faster and easier.

For Einstein the forums are at >>>

Thanks. I already tried on the Einstein forum to no avail, so I decided to give it a try here.
