I am running both rosetta@home and seti@home, I just want the screensaver to show the seti@home graphics. How can I disable the rosetta@home graphics?

I want the stats I get from bionics just not the screensaver

Hi Neel,

that is rather a BOINC related problem. You can either set the BOINC screensaver to run and show the graphics of the project currently computed or you can set the computer to not use the BOINC screensaver.

After all you cannot show a SETI screen saver as long as Rosetta is running: the saver reflects the current computations, so you would have to abort the Rosetta Work Unit and run SETIathome instead. This again would flaw the time sharing settings between projects - if you are away for long and the saver runs only one project other projects might get delayed. That is why there is no such feature as to determine which savers you want to run.

Regards,

Christoph
