Description

XActivateScreenSaver() turns on the screen saver using the parameters set with XSetScreenSaver().  The screen saver blanks the screen or makes random changes to the display in order to save the phosphors from burnout when the screen is left unattended for an extended period of time.  The interval that the server will wait before starting screen save activity can be set with XSetScreenSaver().  Exactly how the screen saver works is server-dependent.  For more information on the screen saver, see Volume One, Chapter 13, Other Programming Techniques.
