Good for him. Each to their own. That said, those hacks must be legendary for him to go to those lengths. Frankly I'm surprised xscreensaver is still around given all the various changes to window managers.
I've probably still got a few machines with a locally compiled version of xscreensaver lying around.
- djsumdog 7y agoI think I just have one machine that still runs it, but I like xscreensaver and glad it's still around. It has a huge selection of screen savers, more than most other desktop environments, and they were all so cool!
- fit2rule 7y agoEvery now and then I catch up with xscreensaver and I'm convinced jwz is a madman, intent on eventually implementing Emacs.
- bayindirh 7y agoIt's also remarkable that XScreensaver has one of the most stable DPMS implementations around. Most screensavers and lockers lock-up the system while trying to switch the screen to low power mode on my PC but, XScreensaver works reliably. DisplayPort connection on nVidia cards is a pain point.
