.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Timeout and interval are specified in seconds.
|
|
A timeout of 0 disables the screen saver
|
|
(but an activated screen saver is not deactivated),
|
|
and a timeout of \-1 restores the default.
|
|
Other negative values generate a
|
|
.B BadValue
|
|
error.
|
|
If the timeout value is nonzero,
|
|
.B XSetScreenSaver
|
|
enables the screen saver.
|
|
An interval of 0 disables the random-pattern motion.
|
|
Both values are limited to a 16-bit signed integer range by the wire protocol,
|
|
despite the C prototype.
|
|
If no input from devices (keyboard, mouse, and so on) is generated
|
|
for the specified number of timeout seconds once the screen saver is enabled,
|
|
the screen saver is activated.
|
|
.LP
|
|
For each screen,
|
|
if blanking is preferred and the hardware supports video blanking,
|
|
the screen simply goes blank.
|
|
Otherwise, if either exposures are allowed or the screen can be regenerated
|
|
without sending
|
|
.B Expose
|
|
events to clients,
|
|
the screen is tiled with the root window background tile randomly
|
|
re-origined each interval seconds.
|
|
Otherwise, the screens' states do not change,
|
|
and the screen saver is not activated.
|
|
The screen saver is deactivated,
|
|
and all screen states are restored at the next
|
|
keyboard or pointer input or at the next call to
|
|
.B XForceScreenSaver
|
|
with mode
|
|
.BR ScreenSaverReset .
|
|
.LP
|
|
If the server-dependent screen saver method supports periodic change,
|
|
the interval argument serves as a hint about how long the change period
|
|
should be, and zero hints that no periodic change should be made.
|
|
Examples of ways to change the screen include scrambling the colormap
|
|
periodically, moving an icon image around the screen periodically, or tiling
|
|
the screen with the root window background tile, randomly re-origined
|
|
periodically.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B XSetScreenSaver
|
|
can generate a
|
|
.B BadValue
|
|
error.
|
|
.LP
|
|
If the specified mode is
|
|
.B ScreenSaverActive
|
|
and the screen saver currently is deactivated,
|
|
.B XForceScreenSaver
|
|
activates the screen saver even if the screen saver had been disabled
|
|
with a timeout of zero.
|
|
If the specified mode is
|
|
.B ScreenSaverReset
|
|
and the screen saver currently is enabled,
|
|
.B XForceScreenSaver
|
|
deactivates the screen saver if it was activated,
|
|
and the activation timer is reset to its initial state
|
|
(as if device input had been received).
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B XForceScreenSaver
|
|
can generate a
|
|
.B BadValue
|
|
error.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.B XActivateScreenSaver
|
|
function activates the screen saver.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.B XResetScreenSaver
|
|
function resets the screen saver.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.B XGetScreenSaver
|
|
function gets the current screen saver values.
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.TP 1i
|
|
.B BadValue
|
|
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
|
|
Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined
|
|
by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of
|
|
alternatives can generate this error.
