My Animated Matrix Wallpaper with Compiz Fusion on Ubuntu

My animated wallpaper in Ubuntu, which is the glMatrix screen saver. Note that this is done under Compiz Fusion using XWinWrap.

Yaserxp, Does This work On Knoppix?

[yaserxp]

I really don't konw.

AFAIK, this (on Ubuntu) requires Compiz Fusion and XWinWrap. I suppose that it should work on Knoppix if the requirements are met, but I could be totally wrong here.

Looks like a CPU time hog. Have you tried that with XMatrix?

[yaserxp]

On my laptop, it uses 7-9% of my CPU.

I get an error when I try using XMatrix!

@anthiny737 Compiz fusion, you can find it in the repositories, if your distro didn't have it upon install.

@Zubb1987 It works with every recent distibution, pissing thing is that I didnt manage to make windows appear above that screensaver (its screensaver, only hacked to appear as wallpaper). Maybe some compositing could do it, but as i said, I dunno how.
