   Hi
   using xscreensaver
   I had to install perl to make the slideshow work

   If I start the slideshow in a CLI; one error is still remaining:
   tux@slitaz:~$ /usr/lib/xscreensaver/glslideshow
   glslideshow: unable to load font "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-180-*", using "fixed"

   but the slideshow is working

   EDIT:
   I use the nvidia-driver...don't know if it will work with open-source drivers

   thanks you for your reply

   i didn't know xscreensaver, i installed it

   the problem of glslideshow is.. it's using opengl, and this computer does not have it.

   so i'm using the slideshow screensaver, but that made cells over the pictures, i dislike it.

   finally not resolved.. how could i do to automatically launch xscreensaver -no-splash when opening the session? using .config/autostart or /etc/xdg/autostart folder does nothing..

   answering myself:

   .config/autostart/ssaver.desktop

   [Desktop Entry]
   Type=Application
   Name=xset
   Exec=/usr/bin/xscreensaver -no-splash
