bgrot is a simple suite of scripts to handle rotation of your X
background, using (at present) xv. It takes a series of images, puts
them in random order, and rotates them at given intervals. Why? Heck,
why not?
MenuMaker is application finding and menu generation utility. It is capable of
finding lots of installed programs and generating the root menu consistent
across all supported X window managers, so one will get (almost) the same menu
no matter what WM is currently used. It is pure Python application hence it
runs on every relevant system.
Supported X window managers:
- BlackBox
- Deskmenu
- FluxBox
- IceWM
- OpenBox, version 3
- PekWM
- WindowMaker
- XFCE, version 4
It also reads Freedesktop.org's .desktop files.
Xtic is a board game designed for the X windows environment.
The game is a two-player game, although for the moment,it
is only possible to play against the computer. The board is
composed of 4x4 squares and 16 pieces. Each piece has four
properties: black or brown, horizontal or vertical, solid or hollow,
round or square. This makes up 16 possible combinations and there
is exactly one piece for each possibility.
This is version 1.12.
This distribution contains two programs, xrsh and xrlogin.
Xrsh is designed to allow you to start an X client on a remote machine
with the window displayed on the current server's $DISPLAY. It has
many options that give you the ability to propagate environment
variables (including DISPLAY) to the remote system and works with
various types of X server access control including xauth and xhost.
Xrlogin opens a local xterm window and runs rlogin or telnet to
connect to a remote machine.
dmenu is a minimalistic X11 menu. It reads a newline separated list of items
from stdin and shows them as a menu on the top of the screen. When the user
selects one item or types any text and presses Enter, his choice is printed to
stdout.
dmenu was developed as an addition to the dynamic window manager (dwm), but can
be used in any X11-environment.
Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator written in
C++, that runs on most popular platforms. It includes emulation of the
Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Currently, bochs can
be compiled to emulate a 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium Pro or AMD64 CPU,
including optional MMX, SSE, SSE2 and 3DNow instructions.
Bochs is capable of running most Operating Systems inside the emulation
including Linux, DOS, Windows 95/98 and Windows NT/2000/XP.
Bochs was written by Kevin Lawton and is currently maintained by the Bochs
project.
Bochs can be compiled and used in a variety of modes, some which are still
in development. The 'typical' use of bochs is to provide complete x86 PC
emulation, including the x86 processor, hardware devices, and memory. This
allows you to run OS's and software within the emulator on your workstation,
much like you have a machine inside of a machine. For instance, let's say
your workstation is a Unix/X11 workstation, but you want to run Win'95
applications. Bochs will allow you to run Win 95 and associated software
on your Unix/X11 workstation, displaying a window on your workstation,
simulating a monitor on a PC.
XVmines is a simple minesweeper game for X Window System.
xvmines creates a rectangle on the screen, divided into equally sized
cells. Each cell may contain a mine (hence the name xvmines), contain a
number indicating the number of mines present in the 8-neighboring cells
or be empty.
Initially, all cells are covered with tiles. A tile can be removed,
uncovering the cell below, by clicking the left mouse button on it. In
addition, a cell can be marked as containing a mine by clicking the
right mouse button on it. Note however that marking a cell as containing
a mine does not necessarily mean that the cell really contains a mine!
Clicking the middle mouse button on a tile, marks it with a question
mark, acting as a reminder mechanism. The user can use the numbers in
the uncovered cells to find (or sometimes guess ...) which cells contain
mines and which do not.
A game ends when all cells not containing mines have been uncovered and
all cells containing mines have been marked, or when a cell containing a
mine is uncovered.
Xv is an X11 program that displays images in the GIF,
JPEG, TIFF, PBM, PGM, PPM, X11 bitmap, Utah Raster Toolkit
RLE, PDS/VICAR, Sun Rasterfile, BMP, XPM, PCX, IRIS RGB,
possibly PostScript, Portable Networking Format(PNG) and
PM formats on workstations and terminals running the
X Window System, Version 11.
And more xv japanese extensions patch supports images in
the MAKI, MAG, PIC, Pi PIC2, PhotoCD. And this patch also
supports archived image files. Supported archivers are
arc, arj, lzh, tar, tar+compress, tar+gzip, tar+bzip2, zip,
and zoo.
Note that this program is shareware except for personal use only.
Please read the documentation in the directory
/usr/local/share/doc/xv

CYR-RFX started as a collection of cyrillic fonts for X-Window
("CYR-RFX" stands for "CYRillic Raster Fonts for X"). Now it includes
several cyrillic encodings and two latin ones (both with Euro sign).
These fonts are modified (mainly with cyrillics added) versions of
standard X-Window fonts from misc/ and 75dpi/.
The fonts included are all *iso8859-1 from misc/, and most important
75dpi/ ones: lu (LucidaSans), lut (LucidaSansTypewriter), tim (Times),
helv (Helvetica) and cour (Courier).
Unlike the standard CYR-RFX' hierarchical install, this port installs
all fonts for the same encoding into a single directory, with combined
fonts.aliases and the new fonts.dir. The default encoding is KOI8-O --
seemingly the most complete of the Cyrillic encodings, compatible (for
most intents and purposes) with KOI8-R and KOI8-U.
Just what you always wanted. Hardcore Quake fanatics can
now enjoy their favorite game in a 64x64 window!
