(Rage) Screen Saver

3 commentaires

Another screen saver accessory. Originaly developped for fVDI on Falcon+Eclipse and ATI RageIIc, under MagiC environment. And now extended for FreeMiNT.

Mouse cursor moves are monitored. If inaction, then 2 sleep modes:
– first is software (MagiC or MiNT required), launching an animation program such as one of my VDI Effects or one of your own.
and/or
– second is hardware (experimental, untested), setting off the display in the registers card for the monitor to sleep (DPMS). Detection is automatic if PCI BIOS is available. If not, you can set it manually for your video card expansion. Read the ST-Guide documentation and the GFA sources.
