The screensaver's settings panel allows you to customize the style and joint type of the pipes, and to use a custom BMP image file as its surface. Also check out this playlist, featuring my 2015 pipes screensaver video and all its sequels:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9PErHPb5c3R0OpUZEUJYJ2XOA. Pipes predates Direct3d by a lot. It was first release, IIRC, in Windows NT 3.5. At that time it was novel that a PC had OpenGL. TazeTSchnitzel on Nov 22, 2015 - It was one of the four OpenGL screensavers 95 had (presumably NT 3.5 had the same bunch). They used opengl32.dll which provided OpenGL with software rendering, IIRC. This free Screensaver is the cutest free Screensavers as it consists of a played recording of Level 1-1. It is perfect to sate your daily dose of nostalgia and for hardcore gamers. Download: Super Mario Bros. We have tried to add the best free Screensavers from different niches to provide you with the best options available.

HISTORY

pipes.shwas originally created by Matthew Simpson and posted to theArchLinux Forums in early 2010. It was also later posted toGistreleased in the public domain.

In early 2013,Yu-Jie Lin posted a modification of the script to Gist afterreading about it on ablog.It was maintained on Gist independently for a period of afew months.

In 2014, thescript was given its own GitHub repository as a projectwhich encouraged contributions from other developers. As theproject gained more popularity the decision was made tocombine forces with developers of similar projects.

Finally in2015, the MIT License was added and the Pipeseronicollective was formed (see LINKS below) to maintainthe project.

Using the 'vesa' driver has its drawbacks. I noticed that all of the MPG, WMV, ASF files that people have emailed me tend to playback slowly and jump and skip frames.
I have discovered that if I use the 'r128' driver, I can use several options for the 'r128' driver which can resolve certain issues.
Below is what I have for the 'Device' section of my xorg.conf file.
Section 'Device'
Identifier 'ATI Technologies, Inc. Rage 128 PF/PRO AGP 4x TMDS'
Driver 'r128'
Option 'SWcursor' 'off'
Option 'NoAccel' 'on'
Option 'Dac6Bit' 'off'
Option 'Display' 'CRT'
BusID 'PCI:1:0:0'
EndSection
I have found that if I set 'SWcursor' to 'off' : this fixes a bug with the mouse cursor turning black under certain conditions.
If 'SWcursor' is 'on', the mouse cursor will sometimes turn black. Of course, with a dark background, the mouse cursor gets lost until it hovers over a ight area of the screen.
I have found that if 'NoAccel' is 'on' then the pipes screensaver works fine, as does Google Earth albeit slow in software OpenGL mode.
The draw back is that the entire xwindow experience is slow, windows drag slowly, resizing a window is slow etc. small MPG, WMV, ASF files seem to playback OK though.
If 'NoAccel' is set to 'off', this will return the system to using hardware acceleration and the xwindow experience again improves. The drawback here is that the pipes screensaver goes glitchy again and GoogleEarth just crashes!
