13 computers were fun and I spent my time with an Atari 400 hooked up to a
14 black-and-white TV I found in someone's trash.
18 picks a mode to display from the available options. If modes are explicitly
19 set on the command-line, they over-ride the implicit options and will be
20 choosen among exclusively. If modes are explicitly excluded from the
21 command-line, the they are simply removed from contention.
23 The image that it manipulates will be grabbed from the portion of
24 the screen underlying the window, or from the system's video input,
25 or from a random file on disk, as indicated by
26 the \fIgrabDesktopImages\fP, \fIgrabVideoFrames\fP,
27 and \fIchooseRandomImages\fP options in the \fI~/.xscreensaver\fP

37 Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
40 Draw on the root window.

45 .B \-visual \fIvisual\fP

76 to get the default host and display number.
79 to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
80 stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
82 Notable X resources supported include the following:
88 are booleans, defining which modes are to be implicitly available if
90 is run without command-line mode selections.
92 is a boolean, defining if
94 should cycle through each available mode or pick one and stick with it.
98 are integers, defining how long each mode should be displayed and how
99 long the time between them should be if
103 is an integer, defining the strength of the signal during the "static"
104 mode, as a percentage.
107 should simulate more TV problems.
