4 a screen saver and locker for the X window system
7 http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/
15 The `configure' shell script will attempt to figure out which options are
16 appropriate for your system, and will create config.h and the various
17 Makefiles for you. Run `configure --help' to see how to override these
18 choices, or to specify things like the default installation directory.
19 The file `INSTALL' gives a general overview of use of these sorts of
20 configure scripts (those generated by the GNU autoconf system.)
21 The most important hint is probably this:
23 ./configure --with-motif=/opt/Motif --with-xpm=/usr/local
25 To build on VMS, see README.VMS.
27 If you are upgrading, you might want to delete your ~/.xscreensaver file.
28 If you don't, you might not see the new graphics modes. If you are upgrading
29 from version 2.* to version 3.*, definitely do delete your .xscreensaver file.
31 If you think you've found a bug, please let me know! No bug report is too
32 small. But first, please read the enclosed `README.debugging' file to find
33 out what kind of information would be most helpful to include in your bug
38 You can try out xscreensaver like so:
41 xscreensaver-command -demo
43 After a few seconds, the screen should go black, and a dialog box should
44 appear in the upper right corner. This is "Demo Mode".
46 Note: unlike `xlock', xscreensaver has a client-server model: the
47 `xscreensaver' process is a daemon that runs in the background; it is
48 controlled by the foreground `xscreensaver-command' program.
50 xscreensaver has an extensive manual -- please read it!
54 The xscreensaver daemon waits until the keyboard and mouse have been idle
55 for a period, and then runs a graphics demo chosen at random. The demo is
56 terminated as soon as there is any mouse or keyboard activity (or, in
57 locking mode, when the proper password is typed.)
59 It is trivially easy to add new display modes to xscreensaver: any program
60 which can be invoked in such a way that it draws on the root window of the
61 screen can be used as a screensaver. You just change a resource setting --
62 there's no need to recompile or reinstall anything.
66 Along with the xscreensaver daemon itself, this package also includes
67 numerous graphics hacks for use as screensavers. There is nothing magic
68 about these: they are just programs that draw on the root window.
70 More than 90 such programs are included. For details, see the xscreensaver
71 web page, or the enclosed manual pages. There are also some helpful hints
72 on customization in the xscreensaver app-defaults file (normally installed
73 in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver.)
75 The latest version of xscreensaver is always available on the web at
76 http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/.
80 Changes since 3.08: * Added `compass', `squiral', `xflame', `wander',
81 `spotlight', and `critical' hacks.
82 * Added some new modes to `decayscreen'.
83 * Made `deluxe' work in monochrome.
84 * Generalized usage of the Double-Buffer server extension
85 in several hacks (`compass', `deluxe', `interference',
86 `kumppa', and `moire2'.)
87 * Fixed another visual-depth problem in `rd-bomb'.
88 * The screen saver will now defer blanking if neither
89 the keyboard nor the mouse could be grabbed. Instead,
90 it will just try again in a few minutes. This fixes
91 a bad interaction between xscreensaver and programs
92 like VMware that hold the mouse and keyboard grabbed
94 * Added a new erase mode (expanding spiral.)
95 Changes since 3.07: * Fixed some bugs in my port of `t3d'.
96 * Added `penetrate' and `deluxe' hacks.
97 * When linking against Motif 2.x, also link against XPM.
98 * Added support for using /proc/interrupts for idle
99 detection on Linux. Now xscreensaver shouldn't kick
100 in when the user is active on a non-X virtual console.
101 * Upgraded to autoconf 2.13.
102 Changes since 3.06: * Configure tweaks (sometimes -lXmu wasn't getting linked
103 in properly; check for _Xsetlocale in -lXintl.)
104 * Portability fixes for sonar.c.
105 * Fixed a compilation problem when you have GL but don't
107 * Made configure notice when MesaGL requires -lpthread.
108 * Made `flame' ignore SIGFPE (not sure if this is the
109 right fix; it seems only to be needed on FreeBSD.)
110 * Kludged `rd-bomb' work on visuals that are of depth 24
111 but that *do not* support pixmaps of depth 32.
112 * Fixed `halo' to work properly in TrueColor.
113 * Changed `xscreensaver.spec' to install the hacks in
114 /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/ by default, since that's
115 where recent Red Hat distributions put them.
117 * Updated versions of `crystal', `hopalong', and `flow'
119 * Imported `demon' and `loop' modes from xlockmore.
120 Changes since 3.05: * Oops, the "default-n" visual descriptor was broken;
121 it was always installing a colormap if the
122 `installColormap' preference was set, meaning that
123 `xearth', `xv' and friends were using the wrong
124 colors on 8-bit systems.
125 * Turned off HAVE_PING in `sonar', since it compiles
126 on some Linux systems, but not others of similar
128 Changes since 3.04: * Fixed an off-by-1 in `distort'.
129 * Added `sonar' hack.
130 * New version of `glplanet' (with stars.)
131 * Made all hacks exit when you type `q' or `ESC' at them,
132 and made them obey the WM_DELETE_WINDOW ClientMessage.
133 * Fixed a nonfatal buffer overrun in lament (note:
134 lament still doesn't work with MesaGL 3.0: it dies in
135 lambda_textured_triangle1(), which is Mesa's bug, not
137 Changes since 3.03: * Added an `xscreensaver.spec' file, to make it easier
138 for other folks to generate RPMs.
139 * Made the password code work on HPUX in the situation
140 where: ``enhanced security'' is available; but not
141 used; but the user typed a password more than 8
142 characters long anyway. FTSOHPUX.
143 Changes since 3.02: * Made locking work when passwd aging is enabled.
144 * Added support for PAM (Pluggable Authentication
145 Modules.) It is still turned off by default, though,
146 since it doesn't seem to work on Solaris 2.6, and has
147 been behaving erratically on Red Hat 5.1.
148 * Made each possible authentication method be tried in
149 turn until one succeeds; this means that Kerberos is
150 being used, we will first check Kerberos, and if that
151 fails, will then consult the local password file.
153 * Save and restore the bits under the passwd dialog,
154 to avoid leaving a black rectangle behind when
155 unlocking is cancelled.
156 Changes since 3.01: * Not everyone has sys/select.h, sigh...
157 Changes since 3.00: * Some fixes to `reflect'.
159 * Made it log unsuccessful attempts to unlock the screen
161 * Fixed a bug where `xscreensaver-demo' could be seeing
162 a different programs list than `xscreensaver' did.
163 Changes since 2.34: * The xscreensaver daemon no longer links against Motif
164 or Athena: demo-mode and the preferences panel are no
165 longer built in to the daemon, but are now handled by
166 an external program, `xscreensaver-demo'.
167 (I decided that this, along with the recent addition
168 of the `.xscreensaver' config file, justified bumping
169 the version number to 3.00, since this is a fairly
170 major architectural change.)
171 * Lines in the `*programs' resource may now begin with
172 the character "-", meaning "don't run this hack."
173 In this way, it's possible to disable a hack without
174 throwing away the information about it (making it
175 easier to change your mind later.) Eventually the
176 preferences/demo mode GUI should represent this as a
177 checkbox or something.
178 * Fixed a short race condition where it was possible for
179 xscreensaver to die with a BadWindow error if it was
180 blanking the screen just as another window was being
182 * Made it possible to disable specific modes in `bsod'.
183 Changes since 2.33: * Fixed a bug that was making `pipes' generate way too
184 many valves. Made the viewpoint in `pipes' be selected
185 randomly instead of always being -10 degrees.
186 * Fixed a bug in the XSHM code, in the case where the
187 server supports the XSHM extension but is not the same
188 machine as the client.
189 * Made `rd-bomb' default to taking up the whole screen.
190 * Made it not try to do fading/unfading if no PseudoColor
192 * Initial attempt at supporting VT-locking (doesn't work
194 * Eliminated the `captureStdout' resource; now
195 `captureStderr' controls both streams.
196 * Added `-capture-stderr' and `-no-capture-stderr'
197 command-line arguments.
198 * Added `glplanet' hack.
199 * When a hack is selected with `xscreensaver-command
200 -select', that hack will be used until further notice
201 (until the saver turns off, or another activation
203 Changes since 2.32: * Made `xscreensaver-command' print error messages:
204 the xscreensaver daemon now responds to ClientMessage
205 events by writing a response message on a window
206 property, instead of just writing to its stderr.
207 * Made the ~/.xscreensaver file be automatically reloaded
208 when the file date changes.
209 * The password dialog and splash screen no longer depend
210 on Motif or Athena. This should clear up a number of
211 focus problems, and is the first step on the path
212 toward moving all of the Motif/Athena/whatever code
213 out of the xscreensaver daemon, and into external
215 * Don't complain about LessTif 0.86 any more, since the
216 new password dialog makes that problem go away.
217 * Configure tweaks for Irix 6.5, SunOS 5.something.
218 * New `-reflect' option to `distort'.
219 Changes since 2.31: * Added reading and writing of a ~/.xscreensaver file,
220 so that the Preferences panel can save its settings.
221 * New version of `rubik'.
222 * Added `-select N' argument to `xscreensaver-command'.
223 * Oops, left out some of the `bubbles3d' files...
224 Changes since 2.30: * The cursor was invisible in the password dialog. Fixed.
225 * Made configure warn against MesaGL 2.6.
226 * Fixed X error at startup when using non-default visual.
227 * New version of `crystal', `ant', and `atlantis' from
229 * New hack, `bubble3d'.
230 * Added some new modes to `bsod'.
231 Changes since 2.29: * Changed the order in which -lSM and -lICE are linked
232 to be after Motif instead of before (Lesstif on Irix
234 Changes since 2.28: * Work around a bash bug in configure.
235 * Tweaked HPUX paths again. FTSOHPUX.
236 * Made configure recommend against LessTif 0.86, due
237 to a bug in that version that causes a security hole
238 in the screen locking code. LessTif 0.87 will fix it.
239 * Made all of the `--with' options to `configure' accept
240 a directory option as well (so that --with-motif=/FOO
241 will add -I/FOO/include -L/FOO/lib). I believe this is
242 the Configure Party Line of how do to such things.
243 * Fixed a bug where the mouse was left un-grabbed
244 after the first time the graphics hack was changed
245 (simplified all of the mouse-grabbing logic.)
246 * Maybe possibly perhaps made `vidwhacker' really not
247 leave stray xv windows around. This time for sure.
248 * Added a new erase mode (random dots fizzling out.)
249 * Added `-prefs' argument to `xscreensaver-command',
250 that brings up the Preferences dialog directly (it
251 seems that nobody ever noticed the `Preferences' button
252 on the Demo Mode dialog, maybe this will help.)
253 * Added a splash screen. Turn it off with *splash:false.
254 Changes since 2.27: * Better macsbug text in `bsod'.
255 * New version of `distort' with many new modes.
256 * Plugged a leak in `coral'.
257 * Tweaked configure for HPUX.
258 * Removed some compiler warnings.
259 * More consistent usage of stderr versus stdout.
260 * More diagnostics should an X error occur.
261 * Fixed a possible crash in SGI-specific unfading code.
262 Changes since 2.26: * Improved version of `distort'.
263 * Made `lament' compile against OpenGL 1.0 (though it
264 still requires 1.1 to work properly.)
265 * Updated my email address and home page.
266 Changes since 2.24: * Improved motion in `rd-bomb'.
267 * Added XSHM (shared memory extension) support to the
268 `distort', `interference', `moire', `rd-bomb', and
269 `swirl' hacks, which speeds them up a bit.
270 * Added `lament' hack.
271 Changes since 2.23: * Tweaked the order of the -L options again.
272 * Cleaned up configure's `--help' message.
273 * Added `kumppa' hack.
274 * Smarter maze-solving algorithm in `maze'.
275 * Took `xlyap' out of the default list of hacks, since
276 it's just incredibly buggy (and slow.) Maybe someday
277 someone will fix it...
278 * Added `distort' hack, but didn't add it to the default
279 list (yet) because it's still too slow.
280 * Made the Athena demo dialog look more like the Motif
281 version; it has a text-entry field now, too.
282 * Made the Athena password dialog echo asterisks, like
283 Motif does, instead of using a flyspeck font.
284 * Some random configure tweaks.
285 * Added a `timestamp' resource that makes the `-verbose'
286 messages include the time at which they were printed.
287 Changes since 2.22: * The fix for SGI's ``scheme'' nonsense broke things, and
288 let the user's "*background" resource show through.
289 Fixed it in a different way.
290 Changes since 2.21: * Added support for the DPMS server extension (Display
291 Power Management System.)
292 * Made configure advertize the `--enable-subdir' option a
293 little more, since that seemed to cause some people
294 stress. Also, made that directory be built into the
295 xscreensaver executable, as a hardcoded prefix to
296 $PATH. (Might help, shouldn't hurt.)
297 * Made configure prefer the two-arg gettimeofday to the
298 one-arg version, since AIX doesn't have any prototypes.
299 * Made it work with Xaw3d (the 3D Athena library.)
300 * Made `make install' create directories as necessary.
301 * New version of lmorph from Sverre.
302 * Added `crystal' and `discreet' hacks from xlockmore.
303 * Added a new mode to `bsod'.
304 Changes since 2.20: * Made `xscreensaver-command -time' use different words.
305 (It now describes the two states as "screen blanked
306 since..." and "screen non-blanked since..." instead of
307 "active since..." and "inactive since..." which a lot
308 of people interpreted as meaning the opposite of what
310 * Improved some error messages, in the hopes of making
311 the distinction between the xscreensaver and
312 xscreensaver-command programs more obvious.
313 * Rewrote (and reorganized) parts of the xscreensaver and
314 xscreensaver-command manual pages.
315 * Renamed xscreensaver's `-lock' command-line option to
316 be `-lock-mode', to avoid confusion with the `-lock'
317 option to xscreensaver-command, which does a totally
319 * Removed xscreensaver's `-demo' command-line option for
320 a similar reason; use `xscreensaver-command -demo'
322 * Disabled SGI's ``scheme'' nonsense in a better way than
323 fully-qualifying the background colors in every single
325 * Fixed some other minor cosmetic problems when *sgiMode
327 * Fixed an X error in `bsod -root' (how ironic...)
328 Changes since 2.19: * Fixed a bug that caused the mouse to sometimes not be
329 grabbed properly (meaning the window manager menu could
330 pop up over the demo-mode display.)
331 * Fixed a bug that made the stderr output sometimes get
333 * Fixed a bug that made the demo-mode scrollbar move too
335 * Protected against a possible buffer overflow.
336 * Made `vidwhacker' not leave stray xv windows around.
337 * New version of `ant' so that Bagley doesn't calve.
338 * Make configure on AIX get XShm from the right library.
339 Changes since 2.18: * One file was missing from the tar file. Fixed.
340 Changes since 2.17: * Oops, atlantis wasn't being built by default. Fixed.
341 * Added `epicycle' hack.
342 * Added `interference' hack.
343 * Added `truchet' hack.
345 * Added some new modes to `vidwhacker'.
346 Changes since 2.16: * Added a -window-id argument to most hacks, so that they
347 can draw on arbitrary externally-provided windows.
348 * Synched with xlockmore 4.11a01.
350 * Added `atlantis' GL hack.
351 * Renamed `puzzle' hack to `jigsaw', since xlock already
352 had a different mode called `puzzle'.
353 * Made it self-configure properly when Motif 2.1.0 is
354 being used (requires -lXp now, sigh...)
355 Changes since 2.15: * Made `flag' able to do XPM images.
356 * New look for the xscreensaver logo (`xroger').
357 * Fixed compilation error on Suns with adjunct passwords.
358 * Got multi-architecture builds working again.
359 * Some configure tweaks for building on HPUX and Solaris.
360 * Fixed bug in decayscreen.
361 * Fixed typo in passwd.c.
362 * Made `cynosure' not die when colormap is full.
363 Changes since 2.14: * Added `cynosure' hack.
364 * Added `moire2' hack.
365 * Tweaked `erase.c' some more.
366 * Made unfading a bit smoother.
367 * Added `vidwhacker' hack (not installed by default.)
368 * Added `stairs' hack.
369 * Split `escher' into `cage' and `moebius', as per
371 * Changed subprocess handling to use sigaction() instead
372 of signal() if it's available (this is necessary for
373 SCO but should work fine on other systems too.)
374 * Various other tweaks.
375 Changes since 2.13: * Better fix for the Motif drag-and-die lossage.
376 * Put in some kludges to work around a LessTif bug.
377 * XScreenSaver is known to work with LessTif 0.82 now.
378 * Made fading work on high-end SGI video hardware.
379 * Fixed another SGI-specific bug in screen grabbing;
380 will the madness never cease?
381 * Fixed another crash in `xlyap'.
382 Changes since 2.12: * Made `decayscreen' do directions other than down.
384 * Fixed a crash in `xlyap'.
385 * Added CDE info to the man page, removed `cde.txt'.
386 * Configure tweaks for Zippy.
387 * Turned off the signal handling in `bubbles' because
388 it was sometimes failing to die.
389 * Added `hacks/xscreensaver-sgigl.c' to make it possible
390 to run SGI's ElectroPaint hack (/usr/demos/bin/ep)
391 with xscreensaver. Finally!
392 * Fixed a buffer overrun in the locking code that some
393 wily, malicious cracker must have slipped in.
394 * Disabled Motif drag-and-drool in the dialog box
395 buttons, since it's broken in some old versions of
397 Changes since 2.11: * Added `README.debugging'.
398 * Added `puzzle' hack.
399 * Added `xlyap' hack.
400 * Added `default-n' as a visual name, so that one can
401 have -install on by default, but turn it off for
402 certain poorly-behaved hacks (like xv.)
403 * Added support for grabbing frames of external video
404 (on SGI) to the screen-grabbing hacks (decayscreen,
405 slidescreen, slip, blitspin, and puzzle.)
406 * Improved look of tiles in `slidescreen'; fixed its
407 color allocation problem.
408 Changes since 2.10: * Tweaked `blitspin', added it to the default list.
409 * Added `lissie', `mountain', `triangle', `worm',
410 `rotor', and `ant' from xlockmore.
411 * Updated `sierpinski', `galaxy', and `lisa'.
412 * Thickened the lines in `braid' and `lmorph'.
413 * Updated VMS makefiles.
414 * Renamed `fract' to `vines'.
415 * Added `xjack' hack.
416 * Made a few more hacks use erase.c, and added a few
418 * Fixed compilation problem with Sun's version of OpenGL.
419 * Added ability to use sigaction() instead of signal()
420 to work around a SCO kernel bug.
421 Changes since 2.09: * Fixed colormap bugs in `rd-bomb'; sped up `coral'.
422 * Configure tweaks for *BSD.
423 Changes since 2.07: * New hacks `rd-bomb' and `coral'.
424 * New version of `maze' with some new algorithms.
425 * New colorized version of `rocks'.
426 * Fixed a bug in qix on 64-bit machines.
427 * Fixed a bug in the -time option.
428 * Fixed a bug in configure related to LessTif.
429 Changes since 2.06: * Minor header tweaks in windows.c and flag.c.
430 * Made multi-architecture ($VPATH) builds work properly.
431 * Merged new GL stuff from xlockmore (rubik, morph3d.)
432 * Fixed intermittent crashes in `imsmap' and `munch'.
433 * Added `fadeplot' hack from xlockmore.
434 Changes since 2.05: * Merged in VMS support from Patrick Moreau.
435 Changes since 2.04: * Fixed a MIT-SCREEN-SAVER-related crash, and tweaked
436 configure to detect the extra-random -Xss library.
437 Changes since 2.03: * HP configure tweaks. Detect and warn about LessTif.
438 * Fixed low-color behavior of `goop', `pyro', `starfish',
439 `greynetic', `flame', `halo', and `moire'.
440 Changes since 2.02: * Fixed flicker in `pipes'. Fixed 3d in `bouboule'.
441 * Added `munch' hack.
442 * Added basic dependencies to the Makefile.in files.
443 Changes since 2.01: * Fixes for compiling with the MIT saver extension.
444 * Made the yow/fortune program be a configure option.
445 * Various configure tweaks.
446 Changes since 2.00: * Added `goop' and `starfish' hacks.
447 * Added colomap cycling to `halo'.
448 * Made `attraction' use the new colormap allocator.
449 * Added better $PATH diagnostics.
450 * There was a bug in frand! Color selection should be
452 Changes since 1.34: * Converted to use `configure' instead of `imake'.
453 * ANSI C is now required.
454 * Added Kerberos locking support, from Nat Lanza.
455 * Made the stderr text use overlay planes, if possible.
456 * Reworked the xlockmore compatibility stuff again.
457 * Added `gears', `superquadrics', `escher', `pipes',
458 and `sproingies' hacks (depend on OpenGL.)
459 Changes since 1.33: * Fixed some bugs, made fading be a little smoother.
460 Changes since 1.32: * Made it work with multi-headed displays.
461 * Generalized sub-process management (Unix sucks!)
462 * Added interactive mouse frobbing to Julia.
463 * Added (untested) support for HPUX shadow passwords.
464 * Made normal non-shadow passwords be checked if the
465 shadow passwords aren't accessible for some reason.
466 Changes since 1.31: * Removed *colorPrograms and *monoPrograms resources:
467 made it possible to specify the desired visual on a
469 * Cleaned up / restructured the driver: no more globals.
470 * Made the Motif and Athena dialogs share more code.
471 * Probably fixed some Athena colormap-installation bugs.
472 * Fixed screen grabbing (cmap) on SGI 12-bit PseudoColor.
473 * Fixed divide-by-zero in bright random colormaps.
474 * Added an improved version of xlock's `flag' hack.
475 * Made unfading work better, and not flicker on SGIs.
476 * Added `sphere', `forest', `lisa' hacks from xlockmore.
477 * Added (untested) support for SunOS Adjunct passwords.
478 Changes since 1.30: * Improved colors and colormap cycling of many hacks.
479 * Cleaned up xlockmore compatibility layer.
480 * Made `blitspin' able to grab an image off the screen.
481 * Ported `swirl' and `bouboule' hacks from xlockmore.
482 * Made the driver more careful about not leaving bits on
483 the screen, or allowing other windows to raise
484 themselves: it now re-blanks the screen every so often.
485 * Added `-time' option to `xscreensaver-command'.
486 * Improved SGI screen-grabbing some more: now it can grab
487 TrueColor screens into PseudoColor windows and have the
488 colors still come out semi-reasonably.
489 Changes since 1.29: * Made `slidescreen' and `decayscreen' work better on
490 SGIs when windows of different visuals are present, by
491 using the XReadDisplay() extension to get a true 24-bit
492 image out of the frame buffer.
493 * Made `noseguy' be in color, if compiled with XPM.
494 * Ported `braid', `drift', `fract', `galaxy', `grav',
495 `ifs', `julia', `laser', `lightning', `penrose',
496 `sierpinski', `slip', `spiral', and `strange' hacks
498 * Merged `hopalong' hack with a more recent version.
500 Changes since 1.27: * Added `deco', `moire', and `kaleidescope' hacks.
501 * Merged in support for non-Motif locking and demo mode.
