Screen saving on FreeBSD console has been implemented in the current
snapshot, after version 4.6.0.  For concurrent subshell you need a
supported shell, such as bash, tcsh or zsh.

If neither screen saving nor concurrent subshell are working, there is
just nothing interesting to show behind the panels, hence the error
message.
