CLX is to Common Lisp as Xlib is to C - it provides low-level X calls
on top of which a Graphics Toolkit can be based.
Lupe is a magnifying glass for X Window System.
Lupe is like xmag but it updates the image in real-time and needs
more processor power.
xmove is a pseudoserver (much like lbx) which allows you to move
X-Clients between different displays, or even suspend and resume them.
dxpc is an X protocol compressor designed to improve the speed of X11
applications run over low-bandwidth links (such as dialup PPP
connections). dxpc attempts to exploit patterns in X protocol
messages to limit the amount of data actually sent over the network.
shhcards is a library for displaying game cards on X11.
It provides pixmaps for card games, and functions for
using the cards in X11 programs.
An eyecandy particle system for X that can make a nice desktop background
Requires X11 and shared memory helps.
There's a screenshot or four at :
Seabios is an open source implementation of a 16bit X86 BIOS. SeaBIOS can run in
an emulator or it can run natively on X86 hardware
libcpuid is a small C library for x86 CPU detection and feature extraction.
Using it, you can:
- Get the processor vendor, model, brand string, code name, etc.
- Get information about CPU features such as: number of cores or logical
CPUs, cache sizes, CPU clock, etc.
- Check if the processor implements a specific instruction set such as
SSE2 or 3DNow!
- Execute the CPUID and RDTSC instructions in a portable way
- And have this all in your commercial application, without getting into
trouble, due to permissive license
Reference utility (rather advanced and useful on its own) is also provided.
wm2 is a window manager for X. It provides an unusual style of window
decoration and as little functionality as I feel comfortable with in a
window manager. wm2 is not configurable, except by editing the source
and recompiling the code, and is really intended for people who don't
particularly want their window manager to be too friendly.
wm2 provides:
* Decorative frames for your windows.
* The ability to move, resize, hide and restore windows.
* No icons.
* No configurable root menus, buttons or mouse or keyboard bindings.
* No virtual desktop, toolbars or integrated applications.
Xtacy, a Graphics Hack for X11 windows
--------------------------------------
"Wow! This is better than snorting caffeine!" --Neil Braun
Xtacy is a graphics hack which I've been, well, hacking on, for 2 or 3
years now. It's been compiled on DECstations 3100, SGI running IRIX 5.3,
and Linux boxen. I think someone got it running on a Sun once, but it
had problems with the circle draw function, so a couple of the modes
looked quite odd. Not that odd is bad. Just odd.
So what does it do? Xtacy displays bouncing shapes, rotating palettes,
a couple fractals, a kaleidascope, and lots of more stuff.
