It turns off as soon as there is any mouse or keyboard activity. This program can lock your terminal in order to prevent others from using it, though its default mode of operation is merely to display pretty pictures on your screen when it is not in use. The benefit that this program has over the combination of the .BR xlock (1) and .BR xautolock (1) programs is the ease with which new graphics hacks can be installed. You don't need to recompile (or even re-run) this program to add a new display mode. .SH OPTIONS .I xscreensaver accepts the following command line options: .TP 8 .B \-timeout \fIminutes\fP The screensaver will activate after the keyboard and mouse have been idle for this many minutes. Default 10. .TP 8 .B \-cycle \fIminutes\fP After the screensaver has been running for this many minutes, the currently running graphics hack sub-process will be killed (with \fBSIGTERM\fP), and a new one started. If this is 0, then the graphics hack will not be changed: only one demo will run until the screensaver is deactivated by user activity. Default 10. .TP 8 .B \-nice \fIinteger\fP The sub-processes created by \fIxscreensaver\fP will be ``niced'' to this level, so that they are given lower priority than other processes on the system, and don't increase the load unnecessarily. The default is 20. (Higher numbers mean lower priority; see .BR nice (1) for details.) .TP 8 .B \-lock Enable locking: before the screensaver will turn off, it requires you to type the password of the person who launched the screensaver, or the root password. (Note: this doesn't work if the screensaver is launched by .BR xdm (1) because it can't know the user-id of the logged-in user.) .TP 8 .B \-no\-lock Disable locking. This is the default. .TP 8 .B \-lock\-timeout \fIminutes\fP This is how long after the screensaver activates that locking is enabled. For example, if this is 5, and \fI\-timeout\fP is 10, then after 10 minutes, the screen would blank. If there was user activity at 12 minutes, no password would be required. But, if there was user activity at 15 minutes or later (\fI\-lock\-timeout\fP minutes after activation) then a password would be required. The default is 0, meaning that if locking is enabled, then a password will be required as soon as the screensaver activates. .TP 8 .B \-demo Enter the interactive demo mode immediately after startup. Normally demo mode is invoked via the .BR xscreensaver\-command (1) program, but this is a shortcut for new users. See below for a description of how demo-mode works. .TP 8 .B \-visual \fIvisual\fP Specify which X visual to use by default. Legal values are: .RS 8 .TP 8 .B default Use the screen's default visual (the visual of the root window.) This is the default. .TP 8 .B best Use the visual which supports the most colors. Note, however, that the visual with the most colors might be a TrueColor visual, which does not support colormap animation. .TP 8 .B mono Use a monochrome visual, if there is one. .TP 8 .B gray Use a grayscale or staticgray visual, if there is one and it has more than one plane (that is, it's not monochrome.) .TP 8 .B color Use the best of the color visuals, if there are any. .TP 8 .I class where \fIclass\fP is one of \fBStaticGray\fP, \fBStaticColor\fP, \fBTrueColor\fP, \fBGrayScale\fP, \fBPseudoColor\fP, or \fBDirectColor\fP. Selects the deepest visual of the given class. .TP 8 .I number where \fInumber\fP (decimal or hex) is interpreted as a visual id number, as reported by the .BR xdpyinfo (1) program; in this way you can have finer control over exactly which visual gets used, for example, to select a shallower one than would otherwise have been chosen. .RE .RS 8 .PP Note that this option specifies only the \fIdefault\fP visual that will be used: the visual used may be overridden on a program-by-program basis. See the description of the \fBprograms\fP resource, below. .RE .TP 8 .B \-install When using a non-default visual, install a private colormap while the screensaver is active, so that the graphics hacks can get as many colors as possible. This is the default. (This only applies when the screen's default visual is being used, since non-default visuals get their own colormaps automatically.) .TP 8 .B \-no\-install Use the default colormap. .TP 8 .B \-verbose Print diagnostics. .TP 8 .B \-silent .TP 8 .B \-xidle\-extension Use the \fBXIDLE\fP server extension to decide whether the user is idle. This is the default if \fIxscreensaver\fP has been compiled with support for this extension. On X11R4 or X11R5 systems, the XIdle method is faster and more reliable than what will be done otherwise, so use it if you can. .TP 8 .B \-no\-xidle\-extension Don't use the \fBXIDLE\fP server extension. .TP 8 .B \-sgi\-extension Use the SGI \fBSCREEN_SAVER\fP server extension to decide whether the user is idle. This is the default if \fIxscreensaver\fP has been compiled with support for this extension (which is the default on SGI systems.). If it is available, the \fBSCREEN_SAVER\fP method is faster and more reliable than what will be done otherwise, so use it if you can. .TP 8 .B \-no\-sgi\-extension Don't use the SGI \fBSCREEN_SAVER\fP server extension. .TP 8 .B \-mit\-extension Use the \fBMIT\-SCREEN\-SAVER\fP server extension to decide whether the user is idle. This is the default if \fIxscreensaver\fP has been compiled with support for this extension. However, this extension is flaky, so it's use is not really recommended. (It also makes the \fIfade\fP option not work properly.) .TP 8 .B \-no\-mit\-extension Don't use the \fBMIT\-SCREEN\-SAVER\fP server extension. .SH X RESOURCES \fIxscreensaver\fP understands the following resources: .PP .TP 8 .B timeout \fR(class \fBTime\fP) Same as the \fI\-timeout\fP command-line option. Default 10 minutes. .TP 8 .B cycle \fR(class \fBTime\fP) Same as the \fI\-cycle\fP command-line option. Default 10 minutes. .TP 8 .B nice \fR(class \fBNice\fP) Same as the \fI\-nice\fP command-line option. Default 10. .TP 8 .B lock \fR(class \fBBoolean\fP) Same as the \fI\-lock\fP command-line option. .TP 8 .B lockTimeout \fR(class \fBTime\fP) Same as the \fI\-lock\-timeout\fP command-line option. .TP 8 .B passwdTimeout \fR(class \fBTime\fP) If the screen is locked, then this is how many seconds the password dialog box should be left on the screen before giving up (default 30.) This should not be too large: the X server is grabbed for the duration that the password dialog box is up (for security purposes) and leaving the server grabbed for too long can cause problems. .TP 8 .B verbose \fR(class \fBBoolean\fP) Same as the \fI\-verbose\fP command-line option. .TP 8 .B xidle \fR(class \fBBoolean\fP) Same as the \fI\-xidle\fP command-line option. .TP 8 .B fade \fR(class \fBBoolean\fP) If this is true, then when the screensaver activates, the current contents of the screen will fade to black instead of simply winking out. This only works on displays with writable colormaps, that is, if the screen's default visual is a PseudoColor visual. Default true. A fade will also be done when switching graphics hacks (when the \fIcycle\fP timer expires.) .TP 8 .B unfade \fR(class \fBBoolean\fP) If this is true, then when the screensaver deactivates, the original contents of the screen will fade in from black instead of appearing immediately. This only works on displays with writable colormaps, and if \fIfade\fP is true as well. Default false. .TP 8 .B fadeSeconds \fR(class \fBTime\fP) If \fIfade\fP is true, this is how long the fade will be in seconds (default 3.) .TP 8 .B fadeTicks \fR(class \fBInteger\fP) If \fIfade\fP is true, this is how many times a second the colormap will be changed to effect a fade. Higher numbers yield smoother fades, but may make the fades take longer than the specified \fIfadeSeconds\fP if your server isn't fast enough to keep up. Default 20. .TP 8 .B visualID \fR(class \fBVisualID\fP) Same as the \fI\-visual\fP command-line option. Default \fBdefault\fP. .TP 8 .B installColormap \fR(class \fBBoolean\fP) Same as the \fI\-install\fP command-line option. Default true. .TP 8 .B captureStderr \fR(class \fBBoolean\fP) Whether \fIxscreensaver\fP should redirect its standard-error stream to the window itself. Since its nature is to take over the screen, you would not normally see error messages generated by the screensaver or the programs it runs; this resource will cause the output of all relevant programs to be drawn on the screensaver window itself instead of written to the controlling terminal of the screensaver driver process. Default true. .TP 8 .B captureStdout \fR(class \fBBoolean\fP) Like \fBcaptureStderr\fP but for the standard-output stream. Default true. .TP 8 .B font \fR(class \fBFont\fP) The font used for the stdout/stderr text, if \fBcaptureStdout\fP or \fBcaptureStderr\fP are true. Default \fB*\-medium\-r\-*\-140\-*\-m\-*\fP (a 14 point fixed-width font.) .TP 8 .B textForeground \fR(class \fBForeground\fP) The foreground color used for the stdout/stderr text, if \fBcaptureStdout\fP or \fBcaptureStderr\fP are true. Default: Yellow. .TP 8 .B textBackground \fR(class \fBBackground\fP) The background color used for the stdout/stderr text, if \fBcaptureStdout\fP or \fBcaptureStderr\fP are true. Default: Black. .TP 8 .B programs \fR(class \fBPrograms\fP) The graphics hacks which \fIxscreensaver\fP runs when the user is idle. The value of this resource is a string, one \fIsh\fP-syntax command per line. Each line must contain exactly one command -- no semicolons, no ampersands. When the screensaver starts up, one of these is selected at random, and run. After the \fIcycle\fP period expires, it is killed, and another is selected and run. If the value of this resource is empty, then no programs will be run; the screen will simply be made black. If the display has multiple screens, then a different program will be run for each screen. Note that you must escape the newlines; here is an example of how you might set this in your \fI.Xdefaults\fP file: .EX xscreensaver.programs: \\ qix -root \\n\\ ico -r -faces -sleep 1 -obj ico \\n\\ xdaliclock -builtin2 -root \\n\\ xv -root -rmode 5 image.gif -quit \\n .EE .RS 8 To use a program as a screensaver, two things are required: that that program draw on the root window (or be able to be configured to draw on the root window); and that that program understand ``virtual root'' windows, as used by virtual window managers such as \fItvtwm\fP. (Generally, this is accomplished by just including the \fI"vroot.h"\fP header file in the program's source.) If there are some programs that you want to run only when using a color display, and others that you want to run only when using a monochrome display, you can specify that like this: .EX mono: mono-program -root \\n\\ color: color-program -root \\n\\ .EE .RE .RS 8 More generally, you can specify the kind of visual that should be used for the window on which the program will be drawing. For example, if one program works best if it has a colormap, but another works best if it has a 24-bit visual, both can be accomidated: .EX PseudoColor: cmap-program -root \\n\\ TrueColor: 24bit-program -root \\n\\ .EE .RE .RS 8 (This sort of thing used to be accomplished with the \fIcolorPrograms\fP and \fImonoPrograms\fP resources, but those resources have now been removed; a warning will be issued if they are used.) If you specify a particular visual for a program, and that visual does not exist on the screen, then that program will not be chosen to run. This means that on displays with multiple screens of different depths, you can arrange for appropriate hacks to be run on each. For example, if one screen is color and the other is monochrome, hacks that look good in mono can be run on one, and hacks that only look good in color will show up on the other. .RE .PP .PP Normally you won't need to change the following resources: .TP 8 .B bourneShell \fR(class \fBBourneShell\fP) The pathname of the shell that \fIxscreensaver\fP uses to start subprocesses. This must be whatever your local variant of \fB/bin/sh\fP is -- in particular, it must not be \fBcsh\fP. .TP 8 .B windowCreationTimeout \fR(class \fBTime\fP) When server extensions are not in use, this controls the delay between when windows are created and when \fIxscreensaver\fP selects events on them. Default 30 seconds. .TP 8 .B pointerPollTime \fR(class \fBTime\fP) When server extensions are not in use, this controls how frequently \fIxscreensaver\fP checks to see if the mouse position or buttons have changed. Default 5 seconds. .TP 8 .B initialDelay \fR(class \fBTime\fP) When server extensions are not in use, \fIxscreensaver\fP will wait this many seconds before selecting events on existing windows, under the assumption that \fIxscreensaver\fP is started during your login procedure, and the window state may be in flux. Default 30 seconds. .TP 8 .B overlayStderr \fR(class \fBBoolean\fP) If \fBcaptureStderr\fP or \fBcaptureStdout\fP are True, and your server supports ``overlay'' visuals, then the text will be written into one of the higher layers instead of into the same layer as the running screenhack. Set this to False to disable that (though you shouldn't need to.) .SH "HOW IT WORKS" When it is time to activate the screensaver, a full-screen black window is created on each screen of the display. The window or windows is given the appropriate properties so that, to any subsequently-created programs, it will appear to be a ``virtual root'' window. Because of this, any program which draws on the root window (and which understands virtual roots) can be used as a screensaver. When the user becomes active again, the screensaver windows are unmapped and the running subprocesses are killed by sending them \fBSIGTERM\fP. This is also how the subprocesses are killed when the screensaver decides that it's time to run a different demo: the old one is killed and a new one is launched. Before launching a subprocess, \fIxscreensaver\fP stores an appropriate value for \fB$DISPLAY\fP in the environment that the child will recieve. (This is so that if you start \fIxscreensaver\fP with a \fI-display\fP argument, the programs which \fIxscreensaver\fP launches will draw on the same display; and so that the child will end up drawing on the appropriate screen of a multi-headed display.) When the screensaver turns off, or is killed, care is taken to restore the ``real'' virtual root window if there is one. Because of this, it is important that you not kill the screensaver process with \fIkill -9\fP if you are running a virtual-root window manager. If you kill it with \-9, you may need to restart your window manager to repair the damage. This isn't an issue if you aren't running a virtual-root window manager. For all the gory details, see the commentary at the top of xscreensaver.c. You can control a running screensaver process by using the .BR xscreensaver\-command (1) program (which see.) .SH USING XDM(1) You can run \fIxscreensaver\fP from your xdm session, so that the screensaver will run even when nobody is logged in on the console. Simply add \fB"xscreensaver &"\fP to your \fI/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup\fP file. Because \fIxdm\fP grabs the keyboard, keypresses will not make the screensaver deactivate, but any mouse activity will. (If your system does not seem to be executing the \fIXsetup\fP file, you may need to configure it to do so -- the traditional way to do this is to make that file the value of the \fIDisplayManager*setup\fP resource in the \fIxdm-config\fP file. See the man page for .BR xdm (1) for more details.) Users may want to add \fB"xscreensaver-command -restart"\fP to their startup scripts, so that the screensaver will be reinitialized with their private resource settings when they log in. It is safe to run this program as root (as \fIxdm\fP is likely to do.) If run as root, \fIxscreensaver\fP changes its effective user and group ids to something safe (like \fI"nobody"\fP) before connecting to the X server or launching user-specified programs. Locking doesn't work if the screensaver is launched by \fIxdm\fP. To get around this, you can run the screensaver from \fIxdm\fP without locking, and kill and restart it from your personal X startup script to enable locking; for example: .EX xscreensaver-command -exit ; xscreensaver .EE .SH DEMO MODE If \fIxscreensaver\fP receives the \fBDEMO\fP ClientMessage, which is done by running the \fBxscreensaver\-command\fP program with the \fB\-demo\fP option, the screensaver will black the screen and pop up a dialog box from which you can examine and experiment with the client programs. The dialog box contains a scrolling list, a text field, and a number of buttons. Double-clicking on one of the programs in the list will run it. Clicking the mouse again will bring the dialog box back. Single-clicking in the list will place the indicated program and its args in the text field to be edited. Edit the arguments and hit return to run the program with the parameters you have specified. (Note that these are one-time changes and won't be remembered; to make the changes permanent, you need to edit your X resource file.) The buttons are: .TP 8 .B Run Next Clicking this button will run the next program in the list after the currently-selected one, and will scroll around to the top when it reaches the bottom. .TP 8 .B Run Previous Opposite of Run Next; at the top, it scrolls around to the bottom. .TP 8 .B Edit Parameters This pops up a second dialog box, in which you have the option to interactively change most of the screensaver's operational parameters, such as its timeouts, and whether it should lock the screen. Changing these parameters here will affect only the running \fIxscreensaver\fP process; to make the changes permanent, you need to edit your X resource file. .TP 8 .B Exit Demo Mode Returns to normal screensaver operation. .TP 8 .B Reinitialize This causes the X resource database to be re-read, to pick up any changes you might have made. This works by causing the screensaver process to exit and then restart itself with the same command-line arguments. This is just like the \fI\-restart\fP argument to .BR xscreensaver\-command (1) except that when executed from this button, the screensaver will automatically return to demo mode after restarting. .SH BUGS (This is not a bug, but) note that as of release 1.32, the \fBcolorPrograms\fP and \fBmonoPrograms\fP resources are no longer used: they have been supplanted by the extended syntax of the \fBprograms\fP resource (see above.) .TP 8 Extensions If you are not making use of one of the server extensions (\fBXIDLE\fP, \fBSCREEN_SAVER\fP, or \fBMIT-SCREEN-SAVER\fP), then it is possible, in rare situations, for \fIxscreensaver\fP to interfere with event propagation and make another X program malfunction. For this to occur, that other application would need to \fInot\fP select \fBKeyPress\fP events on its non-leaf windows within the first 30 seconds of their existence, but then select for them later. In this case, that client \fImight\fP fail to receive those events. This isn't very likely, since programs generally select a constant set of events immediately after creating their windows and then don't change them, but this is the reason that it's a good idea to install and use one of the server extensions instead, to work around this shortcoming in the X protocol. .TP 8 Machine Load Although this program ``nices'' the subprocesses that it starts, graphics-intensive subprograms can still overload the machine by causing the X server process itself (which is not ``niced'') to suck a lot of cycles. Care should be taken to slow down programs intended for use as screensavers by inserting strategic calls to .BR sleep (3) or .BR usleep (3) (or making liberal use of any \fI\-delay\fP options which the programs may provide.) Also, an active screensaver will cause your X server to be pretty much permanently swapped in; but the same is true of any program that draws periodically, like .BR xclock (1) or .BR xload (1). .TP 8 Latency and Responsiveness If the subprocess is drawing too quickly and the connection to the X server is a slow one (such as an X terminal running over a phone line) then the screensaver might not turn off right away when the user becomes active again (the .BR ico (1) demo has this problem if being run in full-speed mode). This can be alleviated by inserting strategic calls to .BR XSync (3) in code intended for use as a screensaver. This prevents too much graphics activity from being buffered up. .TP 8 Locking and XDM Locking doesn't work if the screensaver is launched by \fIxdm\fP. The reason for this is that when it is launched by \fIxdm\fP, the screensaver process is owned by some standard user id (such as \fIroot\fP or \fIdaemon\fP) instead of the user who is logged in on the console: because the screensaver was started \fIbefore\fP anyone was logged in. In order for the screensaver to prompt for the password of the person who had logged in from \fIxdm\fP, it would need to know who that user was, and there is no reliable and safe way to figure that out. (And even if there was, there would be some other security issues here as well.) So if you want to use it as a locker, you must start it with your user id. If it has already been started by \fIxdm\fP, you can kill it with \fBxscreensaver-command -exit\fP, and then start it again as you. .TP 8 Passwords If you get an error message like ``couldn't get password of \fIuser\fP'' then this probably means that you're on a system in which the .BR getpwent (3) library routine can only be effectively used by root. If this is the case, then \fIxscreensaver\fP must be installed as setuid to root. Care has been taken to make this a safe thing to do. It also may mean that your system uses shadow passwords instead of the standard \fIgetpwent\fP interface; in that case, you may need to change some options in \fIconfig.h\fP and recompile. .TP 8 TWM and Colormaps The \fBinstallColormap\fP option doesn't work very well with the .BR twm (1) window manager and its descendants. There is a race condition between the screensaver and this window manager, which can result in the screensaver's colormap not getting installed properly, meaning the graphics hacks will appear in essentially random colors. (If the screen goes white instead of black, this is probably why.) The .BR mwm (1) and .BR olwm (1) window managers don't seem to have this problem. The race condition exists because X apparently does not provide a way for an OverrideRedirect window to have its own colormap, short of grabbing the server (which is neither a good idea, nor really possible with the current design.) What happens is that, as soon as the screensaver installs its colormap, \fBtwm\fP responds to the \fBColormapNotify\fP event that is generated by re-instaling the default colormap. Apparently, \fBtwm\fP doesn't \fIalways\fP do this; it seems to do it regularly if the screensaver is activated from a menu item, but seems to not do it if the screensaver comes on of its own volition, or is activated from another console. Any thoughts on this problem are welcome... .TP 8 XView Clients Apparently there are some problems with XView programs getting confused and thinking that the screensaver window is the real root window even when the screensaver is not active: ClientMessages intended for the window manager are sent to the screensaver window instead. This could be solved by making xscreensaver forward all unrecognised ClientMessages to the real root window, but there may be other problems as well. If anyone has any insight on the cause of this problem, please let me know. .TP 8 MIT Extension and Fading When using the \fBMIT-SCREEN-SAVER\fP extension in conjunction with the \fBfade\fP option, you may notice an unattractive flicker just before the fade begins. This is because the server maps a black window just before it tells the \fIxscreensaver\fP process to activate. The \fIxscreensaver\fP process immediately unmaps that window, but this results in a flicker. I haven't figured a way to get around this; it seems to be a fundamental property of the (mis-) design of this server extension. .TP 8 LessTif (Motif Clone) Rumor has it that demo mode is buggy if XScreenSaver was compiled with the GNU LessTif reimplementation of Motif. Since it works fine with OSF Motif on a variety of systems, I assume these problems are due to bugs in LessTif. Again, any insight would be appreciated. .TP 8 Red Hot Lava There need to be a lot more graphics hacks.
