XScreenSaver(1)XScreenSaver(1)NAMExteevee - Simulate various TV problems
SYNOPSISxteevee [-display host:display.screen] [-window] [-root]
[-install] [-visual visual] [-cycle] [-no-cycle] [-static]
[-no-static] [-roll] [-no-roll] [-bars] [-no-bars]
DESCRIPTIONxteevee simulates various television problems, fondly re-
creating the days when computers were fun and I spent my
time with an Atari 400 hooked up to a black-and-white TV I
found in someone's trash.
When run, xteevee picks a mode to display from the avail
able options. If modes are explicitly set on the command-
line, they over-ride the implicit options and will be
choosen among exclusively. If modes are explicitly
excluded from the command-line, the they are simply
removed from contention.
The image that it manipulates will be grabbed from the
portion of the screen underlying the window, or from the
system's video input, or from a random file on disk, as
indicated by the grabDesktopImages, grabVideoFrames, and
chooseRandomImages options in the ~/.xscreensaver file;
see xscreensaver-demo(1) for more details.
OPTIONSxteevee accepts the following options:
-window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the
default.
-root Draw on the root window.
-install
Install a private colormap for the window.
-visual visual
Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the
name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal
or hex) of a specific visual.
-cycle Cycle through all the available modes. This is
the default.
-no-cycle
Don't cycle modes.
-static Explicitly select the "static" mode.
-no-static
Explicitly forbid the "static" mode.
-roll Explicitly select the "vertical roll" mode.
-no-roll
Explicitly forbid the "vertical roll" mode.
-bars Explicitly select the "color bars" mode.
-no-bars
Explicitly forbid the "color bars" mode.
ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
XENVIRONMENT
to get the name of a resource file that overrides
the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MAN
AGER property.
X RESOURCES
Notable X resources supported include the following:
static, roll and bars are booleans, defining which modes
are to be implicitly available if xteevee is run without
command-line mode selections. cycle is a boolean, defin
ing if xteevee should cycle through each available mode or
pick one and stick with it. delayMode and delayBetween
are integers, defining how long each mode should be dis
played and how long the time between them should be if
cycle is on. staticSignal is an integer, defining the
strength of the signal during the "static" mode, as a per
centage.
BUGSxteevee should simulate more TV problems.
