When I run /usr/lib/xscreensaver/apple2, instead of the normal output, I get diagonal white bars rolling up the screen, with a horizontal bar separating the bottom from the top, and the text output skewed up and to the right at about a 60 degree angle, and rolling up and to the right as well. It's almost completely unreadable. The other screensavers all work fine. I'm guessing this is some sort of byte-ordering or data alignment problem but I don't have time to track it down. The "old TV simulator" code seems to be working properly, but it's the Apple ][ display itself which is bad. I wonder if this also happens on other big-endian platforms like SPARC?

It doesn't work here, too. Also pong and xanalogtv show the same problems. I'll test it on my Sparc to see, if it's an endianess problem.
Works on Sparc. Seems we have to file a bug to the xscreensaver-authors...
needs fixing upstream
