+The display server shall reconfigure the

+field is set to

+round the accerlation arbitrarily.

+The
+.I acceleration_numerator

+fields shall be set so that
+.I ((double)acceleration_numerator/acceleration_denominator)
+is the desired multiple of the normal acceleration that
+shall be set to the acceleration of the pointer.
+.PP
+The
+.I threshold
+field shall be set to the desired threshold for the pointer,
+that is, the number of the pixels the pointer must move at
+once before acceleration takes place (acceleration only
+applies to the pixels beyond the threshold).
+.PP
+Setting one these fields to
+.I LIBAXL_RESTORE_DEFAULT
+(=
+.IR -1 )
+restores the default value.
+.PP
+The value of the
+.I opcode
+field shall be
+.I LIBAXL_REQUEST_CHANGE_POINTER_CONTROL

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+If the
+.I timeout
+field is set to
+.I LIBAXL_DISABLE
+(=
+.IR 0 ),
+the display server shall disable screen-saving,
+but shall however not deactivate any currently
+active screen saver.
+.PP
+If the
+.I timeout
+field is set to a positive value, the display
+server shall enable screen-saving and start the
+screen saver whenever there has been no human
+input to the display server (for example keyboard
+or pointer input) for
+.I timeout
+seconds.
+.PP
+If the
+.I timeout
+field is set to
+.I LIBAXL_RESTORE_DEFAULT
+(=
+.IR -1 ),
+the default value for this field is applied.
+.PP
+If the
+.I prefer_blanking
+field is set to
+.I LIBAXL_YES
+or is set to
+.I LIBAXL_DEFAULT
+and the default value is
+.IR LIBAXL_YES ,
+when the screen-saver is activated, any monitor
+than supports video blanking will go blank.
+.PP
+If the
+.I allow_exposures
+field is set to
+.I LIBAXL_YES
+or is set to
+.I LIBAXL_DEFAULT
+and the default value is
+.IR LIBAXL_YES ,
+or if the screen can be regenerated without sending
+exposure events to the clients, when the screen-saver
+is activated, any monitor that is not blanked is
+changed in a server-dependent fashion to avoid
+burn-in/burn-out. Otherwise, any monitor that is not
+blanked when the screen-saver is activated will remain
+unchanged.
+.PP
+If the screen saver is subject to periodic changes
+(for example by periodically changing the colour map),
+the value of the
+.I interval
+field serves as a hint to the display server how often
+it shall change. This is expressed as an interval in
+seconds. If the
+.I interval
+field is set to
+.I LIBAXL_DISABLE
+(=
+.IR 0 ),
+periodic change is disabled.
+.PP
+If the
+.I interval
+field is set to
+.I LIBAXL_RESTORE_DEFAULT
+(=
+.IR -1 ),
+the default value for this field is applied.
+.PP
+The value of the
+.I opcode
+field shall be
+.I LIBAXL_REQUEST_SET_SCREEN_SAVER
+to signify that the request is of the
+request described in this document.
