Screen savers and xset

Hi

We'd like to activate a screen saver on our DEC Alphas so as to give a
black screen when they are not in use by an operator. Unfortunately we
cannot use the hard-ware screen blanker as that disrupts our
application. Our software can run OK if the xset runs screen saver using
pattern. The pattern we get is a black floating X on a white screen.

So what were after is a means of running a blank-pattern or something
similar to give us a blank screen using software. Anybody know how to do
it ?
