Advice for anyone who wants to put on a regional Linux show (video)
Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:00:00 GMT
The first
Florida Linux Show, held in Jacksonville earlier this year, drew more than 300 people and made enough of a splash that its organizers plan to repeat the experience in 2009. Those organizers, Rod Sharp and Don Corbet, sat down with Linux.com to tell us about their experiences -- good and bad -- putting their show together, and offered advice for others who want to put on regional Linux conferences.

xscreensaver-getimage-video(1) XScreenSaver manual xscreensaver-getimage-video(1)
NAME
xscreensaver-getimage-video - put a video frame on the root window
SYNOPSIS
xscreensaver-getimage-video [-display host:display.screen] [--verbose] [--stdout]
DESCRIPTION
The xscreensaver-getimage-video program is a helper program for the xscreensaver hacks that manipulate images. Specifically, it is invoked
by xscreensaver-getimage(1) as needed. This is not a user-level command.
This program grabs a random frame of video from the system's video input, and then loads it on the root window. It does this by figuring
out which frame-grabbing programs are installed on the system, and invoking the first one it finds. Then it runs xscreensaver-getim-
age-file(1) to load that image onto the root window.
OPTIONS
xscreensaver-getimage-video accepts the following options:
--verbose
Print diagnostics.
--stdout
Instead of loading the image onto the root window, write it to stdout as a PBM file.
