The Beastie screen saver isn't working on my Sun ultra 10

The sparc64 release does not have my favorite screen saver. I want to use the ascii beastie daemon saver on my Sun ultra 10. I tried loading the daemon_saver.ko from an i386 release, but it's an unsupported file layout. I'm guessing I need a sparc64 ported daemon-saver.ko file for this to work. Does this file exist?

That's sure not to work; as you've stated the file layouts (actually the Instruction Set Architectures) are different (i386 ISA vs. sparc64 ISA)

In such a case, I would look to see if it's got a port entry under /usr/ports/ and try to # make install
 
I couldn't find a port for the beastie daemon. I want to port it to sparc64! But how can I do that? I will do whatever needs to be done..
 
Modules are under /usr/src/sys/modules and not /usr/ports.
You need to build modules on the architecture you are using; importing only works if the CPU is the same or in the same class.
