Description: The second release of a nice fireworks screensaver, incorporating all the changes by koral in Fireworks3D
Planned for the next version: * Leaves and daisys :-)
Please report any bugs or suggestions. Note that the screensaver requires a fairly powerful OpenGL compatable graphics card, it may also crash some systems with small amounts of RAM.
Enjoy :-)Last changelog:
Wed Aug 07 2002 - David Sansome o Improved bottom fire o Fireworks leave trails o Setup dialog
Sat Aug 03 2002 - KoRaL o Bi-colored fireworks o 'Sparkling' fireworks o Quadratic curve to fade out debris o Better coloring
Fri Aug 02 2002 - KoRaL o Fixed a couple of lines o Added the third (z) axis. z points to the top, x to the right and y to the back of the monitor o Added perspective projection and better coloring o Added particle size representation
I am using kde3 (and all other software, except the ones I build myself) from COOKER (official) and those packages all go into /usr .. so these packages _aren't_ compatible with mandrake, right??
The latest stable release of Mandrake is Mandrake 8.2, and not cooker. The Mandrake 8.2 packages of KDE3.0.2 (stable) locate KDE3 in /opt/kde3 (which I believe is more lsb-compliant, correct me if I'm wrong on that one).
Cooker is a developement version not meant for everyday use, but for testing. Hope that cleared things up. However, should this Mandrake RPM not make the screensaver visible in kcontrol with the Mandrake menu system?
Well, I'm currently having trouble getting this rpm to install, but if your RPM still uses the same menu file that was included in KoRaL's version, the problem was some errors in the menu format. I'll send you an improved menu file privately.

The RPM should put "kfiresaver.menu" in /usr/lib/menu - It still doesn't seem to show up in the menu though :-) Any ideas?
