NAME
       xteevee - Simulate various TV problems

SYNOPSIS
       xteevee  [-display  host:display.screen] [-window] [-root]
       [-install] [-visual visual] [-cycle] [-no-cycle] [-static]
       [-no-static] [-roll] [-no-roll] [-bars] [-no-bars]

DESCRIPTION
       xteevee  simulates various television problems, fondly re-
       creating the days when computers were fun and I  spent  my
       time with an Atari 400 hooked up to a black-and-white TV I
       found in someone's trash.

       When run, xteevee picks a mode to display from the  avail-
       able options.  If modes are explicitly set on the command-
       line, they over-ride the  implicit  options  and  will  be
       choosen   among  exclusively.   If  modes  are  explicitly
       excluded  from  the  command-line,  the  they  are  simply
       removed from contention.

       The  image  that  it  manipulates will be grabbed from the
       portion of the screen underlying the window, or  from  the
       system's  video  input,  or from a random file on disk, as
       indicated by the grabDesktopImages,  grabVideoFrames,  and
       chooseRandomImages  options  in  the ~/.xscreensaver file;
       see xscreensaver-demo(o) for more details.


OPTIONS
       xteevee accepts the following options:

       -window Draw on  a  newly-created  window.   This  is  the
               default.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -install
               Install a private colormap for the window.

       -visual visual
               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the
               name of a visual class, or the id number  (decimal
               or hex) of a specific visual.

       -cycle  Cycle  through  all  the available modes.  This is
               the default.

       -no-cycle
               Don't cycle modes.

       -static Explicitly select the "static" mode.

       -no-static
               Explicitly forbid the "static" mode.

       -roll   Explicitly select the "vertical roll" mode.

       -no-roll
               Explicitly forbid the "vertical roll" mode.

       -bars   Explicitly select the "color bars" mode.

       -no-bars
               Explicitly forbid the "color bars" mode.

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
               to get the name of a resource file that  overrides
               the  global  resources stored in the RESOURCE_MAN-
               AGER property.

X RESOURCES
       Notable X resources supported include the following:

       static, roll and bars are booleans, defining  which  modes
       are  to  be implicitly available if xteevee is run without
       command-line mode selections.  cycle is a boolean,  defin-
       ing if xteevee should cycle through each available mode or
       pick one and stick with it.   delayMode  and  delayBetween
       are  integers,  defining how long each mode should be dis-
       played and how long the time between  them  should  be  if
       cycle  is  on.   staticSignal  is an integer, defining the
       strength of the signal during the "static" mode, as a per-
       centage.

BUGS
       xteevee should simulate more TV problems.
