I uninstalled xlock and installed xscreensaver (GL ones too), hoping to find
some modules I saw on a guy's laptop, which had Gentoo (I think) with KDE.
Didn't find it, but now I have a question.
As I was scrolling through the list of available modules and verifying their
operation, I ran across some that were greyed out, and showed "Not
Installed" where the demo would be. If you went ahead and clicked on the
"Preview" button, you got a black screen.
I uninstalled xscreensaver*, and got the straight (precompiled) Debian
version. It complained a bit on installation:
Selecting previously deselected package xscreensaver.
(Reading database ... 61574 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking xscreensaver (from .../xscreensaver_4.24-4_i386.deb) ...

dpkg: error processing xscreensaver (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
xscreensaver
Most of those "errors" aren't errors at all, but are name mismatches. Some
are version errors, indeed.
But anyhow, I get the same "not installed" shtick. (Yes, I went back to the
Ubuntu version afterward.) What's the deal with that? What do I need to
install?
Back to the source, I saw something like a spiral, drawn from one end, and
distorting from the other (several turns behind). I only saw it
briefly. Anybody know what it was, and if it's available separately?
