Description: ** 20080623 - NO CHANGES - Only update of download link
KFlocks is an openGL screen saver for KDE.
This is a KDE port, rewrite & rearrangement of original FLOCKS XScreenSaver.
This is an OPENGL screensaver. It depends by libGL & libGLU libraries. These libraries are normally installed into all linux distros.
Please note that the performance of the OpenGL screensavers depends by your graphic card strength and its correct installation (please configure the right Xorg driver for your card).
Available for download: sources and precompiled binaries package for Felinux distro (also Slackware 11)Last changelog:

Using Kubuntu 6.10 Edgy
All seems to compile properly.
./configure
make
sudo make install
But I cannot find it under the heading of open(gl) in the screensaver setup.
Any suggestions?
thanks
Let me understand better: You cannot found the "KBIOF" voice into your OpenGL ScreenSavers menu of screensaver setting utils?
For this, check if kbiof.desktop is present into your <kde-dir>/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/kbiof.desktop
Very nice!
Oh, and if you add
usleep(20000);
in kflocks.cpp line 321, you'll get a nicer cpu usage.
Ideally, you should make the usleep time configurable (say from 20000 [50fps] to 100000 [10fps])
Well done.

usleep(20000) seems to work very fine. Thanks for suggestion.
