Please can I request that the RSS GLX screensavers (which are especially impressive) should be packaged for Mageia? Thank you very much! Here is the homepage so you can see why these are good: http://www.reallyslick.com/screensavers.html As a workaround, it's possible to install the Mandriva 2010.1 package, with a little tweaking (albeit an older version of the programs): 1. Find it on rpmfind.net: http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=rss_glx&submit=Search+... 2. Download the RPM: ftp://195.220.108.108/linux/Mandriva/official/2010.1/x86_64/media/contrib/backports/rss_glx-0.9.1-1mdv2010.2.x86_64.rpm 3. Install the dependencies: lib64magick5 and lib64freealut0 and lib64glew1.7 4. Create symlinks: cd /usr/lib64 ln -s libMagickWand.so.5 libMagickWand.so.3 ln -s libMagickCore.so.5 libMagickCore.so.3 ln -s libGLEW.so.1.7 libGLEW.so.1.5 5. Force the rpm installation: rpm -i --nodeps ./rss_glx-0.9.1-1mdv2010.2.x86_64.rpm 6. Try it out: /usr/lib64/xscreensaver/helios
Summary: wish: please package RSS GLX screensavers (GPL, Mandriva package already exists). => rss_glx, a really slick screensavers port to GLXSource RPM: (none) => rss_glxWhiteboard: (none) => Mdv
Ping for Mga4? (Aside, many of these are already present in KDE's screensaver, so for example, try the "Euphoria" screensaver from the GL category).

Nowadays screensavers have lost their purpose. Nevertheless you can configure them via your prefered desktop environment. No extra package needed anymore. Closing WONT.
