Kinemorphic 3D Screen Saver

What works

Not much. I got a few of the simple screensavers to run in the configuration GUI preview window.

What does not

Most everything. My favorite, Breathing Spheres, is DOA as are many other of the 100 plus screensaver options. In addition, the options to manipulate individual entries or to create new ones are non-functional.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Very little was tested because the GUI and display were constantly freezing.

Additional Comments

I think this might be an OpenGL issue. This is stated on their site: "OpenGL is a 3D graphics library. The Kinemorphic 3D Screen Saver uses this library of graphics functions to perform its 3D animations. If OpenGL v1.1 (or higher) is not installed on your computer, then Kinemorphics will not run." FWIW, I have an older nVidia Mx 4000 graphics card and am using the restricted drivers. I have tried installing with previous versions of Wine and this is the first time any of the screensavers would display. ------- screenshots by earther on Thursday January 10th 2008, 17:21 I have just uploaded several screenshots so you can see all the options this software has to offer. Since I have never run it with sound syncronization I omitted that option. All (except for the running screen capture on XP) are from a fresh install on an old Dell running Feisty. I am going to install elsewhere on Gutsy to see if there is an improvement over Feisty and also play more with winecfg to see if tweaks there will make a difference
