# The x11/xscreensaver port

## xscreensaver-5.20 – screen saver and locker for the X Window System

## Description

    The xscreensaver program waits until the keyboard and mouse have been
    idle for a period, and then runs a graphics demo chosen at random. It
    turns off as soon as there is any mouse or keyboard activity. It can
    also lock the screen (immediately, after a longer idle period, or on
    demand.) xscreensaver consists of two parts: xscreensaver itself, the
    ``driver'' or ``daemon'', which detects idleness and does locking; and
    the many graphics demos that are launched by xscreensaver.

    Any X program that can draw on the root window can be used with
    xscreensaver, regardless of how that program is written, or what
    language it is written in, or what libraries it uses. The xscreensaver
    daemon takes care of detecting when the user is idle, locking, and
    checking passwords and all the other book-keeping; all the other
    programs need to do is draw.

    The benefit that xscreensaver 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 (or even re-run) the
    xscreensaver program to add a new display mode, you just change a config
    file.
