Trying to have xscreensaver - for a digital picture frame
GNUser:
Hi Richard Cranium. The two screensaver applications I suggested are only for x86_64, unfortunately.
But all is not lost. If what you're looking for is just a simple "picture slideshow," then I'd go with Rich's idea of using feh.
Put your pictures in a directory--for example, /home/tc/Pictures/slideshow--and decide how long you want to show each picture. To show each picture for 5 seconds, for example, all you need is this command:
--- Code: ---feh -r -D 5 -F -Z /home/tc/Pictures/slideshow
--- End code ---

I'll look into this . so.. 64 bit only on the others?? that Doesn't make sense ..
What about GL slideshow for xscreensaver?? that would be ideal...

Based on that, I would think you'd want something lightweight, like feh for example.

Is the video card compatible with OpenGL?

I'm assuming it's possible to make "feh" start up automatically? (system startup) , If so , .... uh how? lol
Also , could someone clearify on how to go about making xscreensaver start automatically??? I'm a little confused...
