Some information about this package: Package: xscreensaver Priority: optional Section: x11 Installed-Size: 5184 Maintainer: Larry Daffner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 3.34-1.1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libpam0g (>= 0.72-1), xlibs (>> 4.1.0), xscreensaver-gnome (= 3.34-1.1) | xscreensaver-nognome (= 3.34-1.1) Recommends: xli | xloadimage, netpbm, libjpeg-progs, perl5, wordlist Suggests: xdaliclock, xscreensaver-gl, fortune, www-browser, qcam | streamer Conflicts: funny-manpages (<< 1.3-1), suidmanager (<< 0.50) Filename: pool/main/x/xscreensaver/xscreensaver_3.34-1.1_i386.deb Size: 2063802 MD5sum: 6835bcc59b3fccad7f51e6b238a2e39b Description: Automatic screensaver for X 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. . The benefit that this program has over the combination of the xlock and xautolock programs is the ease with which new graphics hacks can be installed: you don't need to recompile this program to add a new display mode, you just change some resource settings. Any program which can be invoked in such a way that it draws on the root window of the screen can now be used as a screensaver without modification. The programs that are being run as screensavers don't need to have any special knowledge about what it means to be a screensaver. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
