32 ! Turning on "installColormap" interacts erratically with twm and tvtwm,
33 ! but seems to work fine with mwm and olwm. Try it and see. If your
34 ! screen turns some color other than black, the window manager is buggy,
35 ! and you need to set this resource to False (or get a WM that works.)
37 *installColormap: True
40 ! Any program which can draw on the root window will work as a screensaver.
41 ! The following resource enumerates them.
43 ! Programs are separated by newlines (specified in resource files with \n).
44 ! Lines may be continued with a lone \ at the end of the line.
46 ! Each line is an `sh' command.
48 ! But, if the first word on the line is the name of a visual followed by a
49 ! colon, then that visual will be used for the program, if it is available.
50 ! If no such visual is available, then the program will be skipped. In
51 ! this way, you can specify that you want certain programs to run only
52 ! on color screens, and others only on mono screens, by making use of the
53 ! magic visual names "color" and "mono". Likewise, if some hacks prefer
54 ! colormaps, but others prefer 24-bit windows, that also can be arranged
55 ! (in this case, by using "PseudoColor:" versus "TrueColor:".)
57 ! All programs must be launched in such a way that they draw on the root
58 ! window; they should not be spawned in the background with "&". If shell
59 ! metacharacters are used, they must be understandable to `sh', not `csh'
60 ! (the $SHELL variable is not consulted, for unfortunate but good reasons.)
62 ! Be sure to check out Demo Mode: run the command `xscreensaver-command -demo'
63 ! and it will cause the running XScreenSaver program to pop up a dialog box
64 ! that lets you try out the following programs interactively. See the man

167 ! A few of the hacks require OpenGL, and will only be built if you have it.
168 ! If your vendor doesn't provide real OpenGL, you might want to consider
169 ! building MesaGL, which is a free implementation -- GL is way cool.
171 ! Note that those hacks (gears, superquadratics, morph3d, cage, moebius,
172 ! stairs, pipes, sproingies, and rubik) tend to work best on a visual *half*
173 ! as deep as the depth of the screen, since that way, they can do
174 ! double-buffering -- try it and see, but you will probably find that you
175 ! should specify the deepest visual that is half as deep as the screen.
177 ! For example, on a screen that supports both 24-bit TrueColor and 12-bit
178 ! PseudoColor, the 12-bit visual will probably work best (this is true of
179 ! base-model SGI Indys: the 0x29 visual is the one you want.) Oddly, on SGI
180 ! O2s, (machines that have serious hardware support for GL) the 12-bit
181 ! PseudoColor visual looks awful (you get a black and white, flickery image.)
182 ! On these machines, the visual you want turns out to be 0x31 -- this is but
183 ! one of the eight 15-bit TrueColor visuals (yes, 8, and yes, 15) that O2s
184 ! provide. This is the only visual that works properly -- as far as xdpyinfo
185 ! is concerned, all of the 15-bit TrueColor visuals are identical, but some
186 ! flicker like mad, and some have deeply weird artifacts (hidden surfaces
187 ! show through!) I suppose these other visuals must be tied to some arcane
188 ! hardware feature... Your mileage, therefore, may vary dramatically.
190 ! Some other programs that you might want to track down (these work as
191 ! XScreenSaver helpers, but are not distributed with it):
193 ! xdaliclock -root -builtin2 \n\
196 ! xbouncebits ... \n\
197 ! ico -r -faces -sleep 1 -obj ico \n\
199 ! xmountains -b -M \n\
200 ! color: xfishtank -c black -d -r 2 \n\
202 ! xtacy is ok, but it only works on the default visual. We can satisfy
203 ! that constraint like so:
205 ! default: xtacy -root -delay 100 -funky -number 3 \n\
206 ! default: xtacy -root -delay 100 -gravity \n\
207 ! default: xtacy -root -delay 100 -mixer \n\
208 ! default: xtacy -root -delay 100 -taffy -pal 4 \n\
210 ! To display a randomized slideshow of images, you can do something like this:
212 ! default-n: xv -root -rmode 5 image-1.gif -quit
213 ! default-n: xv -root -rmode 5 image-2.gif -quit
214 ! default-n: xv -root -rmode 5 image-3.gif -quit
217 ! Note that we've used "default-n" as the visual name, rather than just
218 ! "default": this means "default visual, no install", that is, it's like
219 ! specifying the command-line arguments "-visual default -no-install".
220 ! This is necessary because, when XV is running in "-root" mode, it always
221 ! assumes that the default visual and colormap are being used, rather than
222 ! examining the window it is drawing on to see what visual and colormap it
223 ! has. If we didn't force the default visual to be used, xv would get an
224 ! X error. If we didn't force the default colormap to be installed, the
225 ! colors would be all wrong. "default-i" may also be used as a visual name
226 ! (meaning, "-visual default -install") but you probably won't ever need
229 ! XEarth is nice, too:
231 ! default-n: xearth -nostars -wait 0 -timewarp 400 -pos sunrel/38/-30
234 ! Some of the GL demos that SGI ships work with XScreenSaver; most don't.
235 ! XScreenSaver includes a program (not built or installed by default)
236 ! called "xscreensaver-sgigl". To use the SGI demos with XScreenSaver,
237 ! build that program, and use it to launch the SGI demos. For example,
238 ! on Irix 6.2, you can do this:
240 ! xscreensaver-sgigl /usr/demos/bin/ep -S
241 ! xscreensaver-sgigl /usr/demos/bin/bongo
243 ! On Irix 6.3, things have moved, so you need to do it like this:
245 ! xscreensaver-sgigl /usr/sbin/ep -S
247 ! You can also use the "ant" demo, but first you need to wrap a shell script
248 ! around it that cds to its home directory, so that it can find its files;
249 ! and also pass it the -S argument, to prevent it from forking.
252 ! Also, since these actually end up mapping their own windows instead of
253 ! drawing on the XScreenSaver-provided root, when they are being run from
254 ! demo-mode, you can't pop up the demo-mode dialog just by clicking the
255 ! mouse: you must first type ESC to make the SGI programs exit. This sucks.
256 ! Things should work properly when they are being run by xscreensaver in
257 ! non-demo-mode, however.
259 ! Basically, the SGI demo writers went out of their way to make my life hell.
