I'm just one step before making this screensaver work properly in Kubuntu 10.04.2 x64.
1. Get the right deb package from download page.
2. Install kdelibs5 and libglut3 packages.
3. Just like MoonBlossom said,
sudo cp /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/kmatrix3d.desktop /usr/share/kde4/services/ScreenSavers/kmatrix3d.desktop
4. Edit the file with:
kdesudo kate /usr/share/kde4/services/ScreenSavers/kmatrix3d.desktop
Replace all its content with this:

And save it.
5. Go to screensaver properties. You'll see kmatrix3d in OpenGL group.
Settings and preview work fine, but when I leave my computer waiting for screensaver to start it shows only black screen. Any suggestions?

It's a shame that such a great screensaver is no longer maintained! :(
I've got my Matrix-styled desktop and it would suite me perfectly, but it seems like there's no way to make it work under Kubuntu 10.04.
It's a pity!
I miss that perfect thing!
Install the deb package from the download page. Then do:
sudo cp /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/kmatrix3d.desktop /usr/share/kde4/services/ScreenSavers/kmatrix3d.desktop
Finally edit the file with:
kdesudo kate /usr/share/kde4/services/ScreenSavers/kmatrix3d.desktop

You'll find the screen saver in system settings under OpenGL
looks really great! but it has no chance on a multiscreen-system.. you just cut the sides on left and right - so this is not the best way to do.. calculating the draw-area on screen-resolution would be pretty better then this procedure.. please fix it - i want to used it very quickly!!! :P
Looks great, only problem is that on my system I run dual monitors 2x 1600x1200 for 3200x1200 total res.. it displays in the center of the two monitors (its configured with twinview, so its one big desktop) and about 1/3 of the far right and far left are black

Will there a release for Kubuntu 12.04 with KDE 4.8.2? or is there a way to modify the existing Package to get it work?

I was happy too soon =( It works when I select preview but the screen will go black if I leave the PC unattended.
Is there any KDE4 version planned ?
I have no freaking Idea how to install this pls help :s
Great screensaver indeed. Any chance you're still working on it? :)
Installs without any problem on Mandriva 2008. Thanks!

Does it works on Kubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04? Because on your website I only see Edgy or AMD packages.
Most packages that work on Edgy will also work on Feisty. I can confirm this one in particular does.
Definitely one of the best! THX!! :-)))
hey, are you still working on this? love to see an update...
here is the pisi package for pardus ... arkadaşlar pardus kullanıcıları için pisi paketi http://zaafer.googlepages.com/Kmatrix3D-0.1-1.pisi

I'm sorry to say that but current development is freezed. See home page for details: http://kmatrix3d.sourceforge.net/
