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.
