Java Desktop System Release 3 Administration Guide

To Add a Screensaver Display

Perform the following steps:

  1. Copy the executable file for the display to the appropriate directory. The directory depends on your operating system, as shown in the following table:

    Operating System 

    Directory 

    Linux 

    /usr/lib/xscreensaver

    Solaris 

    /usr/openwin/lib/xscreensaver/hacks

  2. Add the command for the screensaver display to the XScreenSaver file or the $HOME/.xscreensaver file. Include any arguments that are required to run the screensaver display on the whole screen, rather than in a window. For example, you might want to include the -root option to display the screensaver display on the whole screen.
