> by the way what is the home page for GLMatrix?

It's one of the screensaver modules included in JWZ's xscreensaver (http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/). Some of the modules are made by contributors, but GLMatrix is made by JWZ himself.

If you were talking about a separate homepage for the AmigaOS port, then I dunno. The source is included in the linked-to archive, if that's what you're looking for.

Since Matrix is boring, can I please LOTR screensaver? ;-) BTW: have You noticed how silly it sounds? Screensaver suppouse to save my screen. So it should go blank. Ages ago it also should give extra power to CPU, nowdays you gets CPU extensive 3D bright chars falling down. We're living in strange age, aren't We? :P

If you haven't seen it, here's (http://www.student.dtu.dk/~s973757/image1.png) a pic & here's (http://www.student.dtu.dk/~s973757/image2.png) another one...

It's a bloomin nice saver this one. As for whether or not a screen saver is actually a good thing or not. Hmmm, when doing intensive work, I guess not but they do provide an excellent alternative to keeping fish :-D

Sort of nice - 68k works but PPC gives WarpUp exception with A4000PPC/Prometheus/Voodoo3/P96.

works fine with Mediator and PPC under p96 with both 68k and ppc version..

zipper:i dont know what and why because ihave never touched a promethus but i am pretty sure its just 1 setting u need to set correct and that would be the Wos Env variables...

cheers

Might be, but all GL games do work (except ADescentWarp3DPPC)
