How to make a screen saver in Linux?

[gary]

I've written some screen savers in the past and would like to port a few to Linux. Does anyone know how, or can you hook me up with a tutorial or example?

I have no idea... But found this page, which seems interesting: http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/~liberato/screensaver/
Hope it helps somehow...

gary what did you write them in?

Puppys screen savers are written in C I believe
Right click on lock (top right desktop icon) and configure screen locking

xlock is here
/usr/local/apps/Xlock

I wrote 2 in C, another in Pascal, and yet another in assembly. Assembly took the longest because there were lines and curves involved, but of course, was the most efficient. In short, I won't do that again - lol. I'll take a look at the links you guys have provided.
