.SH NAME
xscreensaver - graphics hack and screen locker, launched when the user is idle
.SH SYNOPSIS
This will cause \fIxscreensaver\fP to be launched when you log in.
(As always, make sure that xscreensaver and the graphics demos are on
-your \fB$PATH\fP; this needs to be set in \fI.cshrc\fP and/or \fI.dtprofile\fP,
-not \fI.login\fP.)

kids! Unix security doesn't do much more than keep honest people honest...)

-TWM and Colormaps
+Colormap lossage: TWM
The \fBinstallColormap\fP option doesn't work very well with the
.BR twm (1)
window manager and its descendants.
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
+Colormap lossage: XV, XAnim, XEarth
+Some programs don't operate properly on visuals other than the default one,
+or with colormaps other than the default one. See the discussion of the
+magic "default-n" visual name in the section about the \fBprograms\fP
+resource. When programs only work with the default colormap, you need to
+use a syntax like this:
+
+ default-n: xv -root image-1.gif -quit \\n\\
+ default-n: xearth -nostars -wait 0 \\n\\
+
+It would also work to turn off the \fBinstallColormap\fP option altogether,
+but that would deny extra colors to those programs that \fIcan\fP take
+advantage of them.

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
pretty ugly, especially the password dialog. Use Motif! If you don't
have OSF Motif, use GNU LessTif, it's free: http://www.lesstif.org/

+SGI Power Saver
+If you're running Irix 6.3, you might find that your monitor is powering down
+after an hour or two even if you've told it not to. This is fixed by SGI
+patches 2447 and 2537.

Red Hot Lava
There need to be a lot more graphics hacks. In particular, there should be
a simulation of a Lavalite (tm).
