It might also be important that inside the BOINC Manager, the graphics work flawlessly. This is a screen-saver specific issue.


I'll second that. Sorry I didn't mention it in my post. The "Show graphics" pops up a nice-running windowed graphic of seti@home. But the *screensaver* is unusable.

I'm having the same problem - the seti@home screensaver SORT OF works but is massively flickery and glitchy and totally unusable. This is since upgrading to Snow Leopard and to BOINC 6.10.17. It was of course a known issue that screensavers broke *entirely* with Snow Leopard, but this problem I see now where it works again but is horrible to look at is new, i think.

Any devs know?

[quote]Charlie has apparently 'fixed' the problem in the latest version, which I think is still alpha.
This thread has been diverted to discussing the correct way to provide the best security on Macs.


I probably misread the first post. I thought he was saying he was fixing the problem in a way that would really only work for folks running as admin on Macs, UNLESS folks like me (who insist on running non-admin for daily use) wanted to run it as a daemon service, which I don't want to do (I think of BOINC as an App that I can control). Anyway, I'll follow this and see what happens.

Nooooo!! Great. I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and now BOINC really doesn't work properly anymore. I'm a non-admin user. I only use my admin user for things that require admin rights, such as installing software or updating the OS. I thought that was what was recommended? So BOINC isn't going to work easily this way anymore? I'm not about to start running as admin and I'm not about to let it be daemon and be unsuspendable. :-(

Oh, BTW, BOINC *used* to run as 64-bit app on Leopard. On Snow Leopard, it's running as 32-bit. Go figure!
