Hello hexdef101
What's wrong with using this one:
xscreensaver-5.07-i686.pet, it works OK in Puppy-4.31
Username = puppy
Password = linux
It comes complete with 137 screensavers.
The only problem with it, is the icon is missing in the menu:
Menu >
Desktop >
Screensaver
to fix that,
open:
/usr/share/applications/xscreensaver-properties.desktop in Geany
and change the line:
to
Then open a terminal/console and run:
finally restart JWM:
Menu >
Shutdown >
Restart JWM
If you would like it to be started automatically at each boot-up,
put the following in a script (call it whatever you like) and put the script in:
/root/Startup
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
xscreensaver -no-splash &
Make sure the script is executable,
Right Click on it and select:
Permissions >
Yes

xscreensaver 5.07 is missing alot of screensavers. I got a couple of them out of PuppyBasicScreensaver02, but there are still alot of them missing. I am not sure why that is though. version 5.11 has them all. other then that there isn't any real reason its just that the full current version would be nice.
