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

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