Xscreensaver



Xscreensaver now pops up a message that says the version in Knoppix is "really old" and that I should upgrade to the newest version.  Judging by some of the Xscreensaver notes about dependencies, I'm guessing that actually getting the newest version to work would be difficult with my limited knowledge.  Has anyone gotten a more recent version working with Knoppix?
 
 
Note:  the screensaver is sometimes fun, but doesn't really matter so it isn't worth anyone's time to mess with it.  I'm just curious if someone already has and if so, what they learned.

P.S.  My first computer was a brand new Apple II+ with a whopping 48 kilobytes of RAM.  Many said "More RAM than anyone could ever need."  LOL.  That is one of several old computer system things that the screensaver does.  I also remember when Pong was new and too expensive for regular folks to own.  I also remember getting Abend errors at work.
