See if there's one that suits your needs. If not, adding something |
| 13 |
like that is fairly trivial in linux: you just need to edit |
| 14 |
.xscreensaver and include a image display program. For example, if you |
| 15 |
install the image display program qiv, here's what it says in its man |
| 16 |
page: |

XSCREENSAVER SUPPORT |
| 19 |
To use qiv with xscreensaver, either type "make install-xscreensaver" |
| 20 |
or add the following to your ~/.Xresources: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
xscreensaver.programs: \ |
| 23 |
/usr/bin/qiv -srfid 5 your_pix/\* \n\ |
| 24 |
/usr/bin/qiv -srfid 5 your_other_pix/\* \n\ |

This is true scholarship, done for it's own sake and not for |
| 30 |
material advantage, like a grade. |
| 31 |
It is an honor to be associated with such nobility of soul. |
