Does anyone know how to set it up so you can have your backround a screensaver...seen it does on ZDTV once.

If you mean running a screensaver in the root window (ie. the background) then try

/usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/xmatrix -root

Hope thats what you meant!

yeah, carwyn is right.

but if you're running it from a terminal, make sure you put an & sign at the end, to tell it to run in the background and give back your terminal.

i.e. type
"/usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/xmatrix -root&"
