%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ XScreenSaver The XScreenSaver package is a modular screen saver and locker for the X Window System. It is highly customizable and allows the use of any program that can draw on the root window as a display mode. The purpose of XScreenSaver is to display pretty pictures on your screen when it is not in use, in keeping with the philosophy that unattended monitors should always be doing something interesting, just like they do in the movies. However, XScreenSaver can also be used as a screen locker, to prevent others from using your terminal while you are away. &lfs101_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &xscreensaver-md5sum; Download size: &xscreensaver-size; Estimated disk space required: &xscreensaver-buildsize; Estimated build time: &xscreensaver-time; XScreenSaver Dependencies Required , , and Recommended Optional , , GLE and User Notes: Change a harcoded library name, which prevents using the settings found by configure: sed -i 's/-lsystemd/-lelogind/' driver/Makefile.in Install XScreenSaver by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr && make This package does not come with a test suite.
