Even though this screen saver works with both xlockmore-gl and xscreensaver, the last one is preferred.
-
Fetch and install xscreensaver or xlockmore (opengl version) from your prefered location/Operative System's packaging method
-
Download your OS's building chain under xscreensaver/xlockmore-gl. On Debian systems this means:
apt-get source xscreensaver (or xlockmore-gl)
-
Install slip.c into xscreensaver/xlockmore-gl "hacks/" directory
-
Recompile
-
Enjoy!
This is handled by your screensaver daemon, but the following should work on both cases:
slip -root -delay 100000 -count 17
It has been reported that under certain high CPU loads the transitioning effects are degraded significantly, this is just eventual and self-healing.
