Grabbed the new package from package interface...

It won't install with pressing deb file.
It is missing stuff:
libxineramal
libxxf86vm1

Will try a dpkg command in xterminal

Note:

The package went from 4,3 mb to almost 10,5 mb

Also no go on xterminal dpkg command

Same error with new version. It does work after a reboot but its not seen as installed. (Using Fapmann btw)

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Show me output of command 'apt-cache policy xscreensaver' in xterm

Fapmann still shows this as available to install though, but it fails.

Hmm I see the new package here
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d.../xscreensaver/

Try to update.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

SO... how's the performance? Still the same? CPU at 50%?

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Just updated live wallpapaer and installed the xscreensaver package. Works great!

Some questions about xscreensaver:

Is there any way to modify the arguments on the hacks? Like you can run xmatrix, but is there a way to use the standard xscreensaver xmatrix flags such as -small or -density or -delay ?

Also I was wondering where on the N900 does the xscreensaver deb files dump the hacks? I was hoping to add a few hacks to that directory that weren't included in the .deb file.

I was thinking of adding some of the GL based xscreensaver hacks, but now that I think about it, they would need to be re-compiled to include openGL ES support. I'm unsure if the standard OpenGL hacks would work on the N900....

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Seems like not much improvement on this area has happened.
Power hungry for sure.

May I suggest that for next Vlad would concentrate on optimizing the code? I'm sure there is something you can do with that to make this more enjoyable and useful! Not eating so much resources, that is.

PS. I must confirm that best video format for live wallpaper seems to be mp4 - runs the smoothiest I've experienced so far...

What theme do use?
