CentOS - Jul 2009 - Screensaver (or screen blanking) at login screen - CentOS 5.2 or 5.3

Hey guys, 

I've done a ton of googling, searching and asking in the forums, etc, and I
haven't found a way to do this... :)

I'm trying to find a way of having some type of screen saver at the login
screen so that if I leave a machine not logged into, it won't burn-in the
screen.

Does anyone know of a way to achieve this? In specific, I'd love to have it
simply blank the screen and leave the screen on, just black after maybe 5
minutes of inactivity at the login screen. :)

Thanks in advance, it's really appreciated! :)

Have you tried leaving the screen alone for about 10 minutes?  Screen
blanking is the default linux kernel behavior since almost the
beginning.  I think the time is 10 minutes of inactivity.

If you're not seeing the screen go blank, you may have a jittery mouse
that is preventing it from activating.
