Trying to have xscreensaver - for a digital picture frame

(1/4) > >>

Richard Cranium:
I found this old beat up Compaq laptop at a local thrift store for a grand total of $5 and had the idea to make a picture frame out of it using TC ..

TC runs on it fine ... so I'm gonna go ahead with it...  but I'm running into a little snag .., Now this laptop Doesn't have ethernet/wifi so booted TC 16.2 on another machine to look in the repos for what I need (xscreensaver) , but as I recall , I need the GL portions  of xscreensaver , which aren't there , I saw an xscreensaver-extra listed in the description , but i can't install it because it seems to be unavailable in the repo..

Could someone help me on this???    Is there another simply slideshow screenaver I could use???

GNUser:
Hi Richard. Which architecture are you using? If x86_64, check out yscreensaver.tcz (for X) and wscreensaver.tcz (for wayland).

Rich:
Hi Richard Cranium
Take a look at fbv.tcz. It is available in TC16 x86 and x86_64.
It is very lightweight and does not require X to run.

feh.tcz might also be worth a look, also available in TC16 x86 and x86_64.

Just plain old x86   .. it's a lousy 300 mhz
