by Jamie Zawinski	XscreenSaver is also a "screen saver" and "locker" for X11. It is a different concept of locking as XlockMore by using a client-server architecture: a daemon is in charge of the user preferences and locking parts, communicating with one out of a lot of "screenhacks" to display interesting graphics (?!) on the root window. xscreeensaver-4.01: finally, included my GL hacks from xlockmore: sballs and glforestfire. Have a look at the screenshots: GLforestFire with count > 0 sballs xscreeensaver-4.01: made i686 RPM and SRPM for Redhat 7.x: Use of my own spec file including RPM french translations and the use of the following patch file. xscreensaver-4.01-EL.src.rpm, the source RPM; xscreensaver-4.01-EL.i686.rpm, the binary RPM; xscreensaver-gl-4.01-EL.i686.rpm, the binary RPM for GL screenhacks including extrusion, and also the optional cosmos and sphereEversion screenhacks; gle-3.0.7-EL.src.rpm, the source RPM for the GLE library, needed for compiling the OpenGL hack extrusion; gle-3.0.7-EL.i686.rpm, the binary RPM for the GLE library. gle-devel-3.0.7-EL.i686.rpm, the binary RPM for compiling with the GLE library. Here is my spec file corrected for GLE, and the used patch file. Corrected stuffs for Cygwin and in sonar screen hack. Integrated in xscreensaver-3.34. Ported to Cygwin the 3.33 version : see my Cygwin contributions pages. X11 resource file XScreenSaver to have messages of the main UI in french. Include it in $HOME/.Xdefaults or by using the specific X11 environment variables or the xrdb program. In this project the atlantis mode, written for xlockmore was added by the project coordinator. I created a perl script to parse the ~/.xscreensaver file to give you the hack number to be used for xscreensaver-command -select <N>;	Web site: http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/
