Can anyone help me with the instructions to install the Boinc screensaver in Ubuntu 12.10? Does it work like the one in Windows?

This is the link http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/browser/boinc/clientscr/screensaver_x11.cpp

Thanks in advance!

If you can wait a bit, I'll be working with the BOINC developer responsible for the Linux version on testing if this thing still runs. We're working on that tomorrow.

Rom forgot to add it for 7.0.40 and 7.0.42, but he assures me that there will be a compiled X screen saver with 7.0.43. Whether or not it's working, is still anyone's guess.

I'll still try to get it and test it out.
