Text screensaver in xscreensaver
 

Does anybody know which screensaver I can select in xscreensaver that will display text that I select in a style similar to the marquee screensaver in winblows? I see in the xscreensaver setup that I can input my text under the Advanced tab. I am using Linux Mint 7 with Gnome. When I installed xscreensaver, the GNOME screensaver was stopped and xscreensaver was started. I selected xscreensaver because it gives me more options and has a wider variety of screensavers.

Hi tmecs, and welcome to LinuxQuestions!

I don't remember exactly the behavior of marquee, but maybe the most similar among x-screensavers is GLtext. It is highly customizable and you can disable the 3-D spinning if annoying. See
for details.

Thanks! After looking around some more with Google, I found out how to do it and even got it working in Gnome screensaver.

How you did it?
