So I'm running a gentoo minimal system that has no X server yet I am interested in running BOINC. Is there an alternative ncurses version (similar to cmatrix) or a pure framebuffer style screensaver version that uses a non-modular driver (this is important because I don't have loadable module support enabled) built directly in to the kernel? If there is a command line version that can use direct framebuffer or one with USE="fbcon" that I could just write up a cron job to execute on idle I would be more than happy to support this project.
