The xscreensaver that I've been using for several releases has 2 different
fortune-type files. One is 'noseguy' where the little guy runs all over the
screen. It uses fortune. The other is called 'phosphor' and it gives simple
random saying from a fortune-like db called zippy. It displays little
characters that type across the screen in green phosphor-like characters.

If it isn't one of those, perhaps you actually mean xlockmore, not
xscreensaver?
