screen savers


I heard that someone is using Windows Blue Screen of Death as a Linux screen saver.

I wrote an OpenGL model of our church, stained glass windows and all, spinning in space. It would make a nice screen saver.
How do I modify that program to be a screen saver?

BSOD is one of the screensavers in the xscreensaver package, which is the go-to Linux screensaver; it contails well over 100 screensavers. Other Linux screensavers (Gnome-screensaver, kscreensaver, for example) are lame respins thereof. If I install a distro that does not have xscreensaver, I immediate replace the screensaver it has with xscreensaver.

The xscreensaver FAQ has a section on how to make a video clip work with xscreensaver.
