How do I make xscreensaver show a slideshow of images?
You do this by using a program that can display a list of images on the root window. One such program, glslideshow is included with xscreensaver (as of version 4.09.)

Just select “GLSlideshow” in the xscreensaver control panel, and enter the directory in which your images live on the “Advanced” tab. If you want to only run a slideshow, then select GLSlideshow in “Only One Screen Saver” mode. Otherwise, the slideshow it will be just one of the display modes that xscreensaver will select from randomly, and run for the length of time specified in the `cycle’ preference.

But, if you try it and it is slow, then you’ll want to run a different program. Two good choices for displaying sl
