-.SH NAME
-unstickpixels \- Screen loop to try to unstick stuck dots
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B unstickpixels
-.RI [ OPTION ]...\ [\fB--\fP]
-.RI [ INTERVAL ]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B unstickpixels
-shall cycle the colours on the screen between
-sRGB(100 %, 0, 0), sRGB(0, 100 %, 0), and sRGB(0, 0, 100 %),
-as fast as possible, or sleep INTERVAL milliseconds between
-each switch.
-.PP
-You should disable powersaving on your monitors and disable
-the screensaver whilst running this program, or otherwise
-make sure that screen loop is always displayed.
-.PP
-Running this program for a number of hours, especially if
-combined with massaging defective dots, may heal defective
-dots. Dead dots (always black) are hard to revive, but
-stuck dots are more probable to get fixed.
-.PP
-You must not run this program if you are epileptic. Seek
-someone else how can do it for you.
-.PP
-.B unstickpixels
-uses the graphics cards' colour lookup tables
-to switch the colour displayed on the screen. If your
-computers does not supports this, the option
-.B -v
-may help, it will use the framebuffer indirectly, via the
-terminal. Unless
-.B -v
-is used,
-.B unstickpixels
-runs both in
-.B X
-and on the Linux VT.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.BR \-v
-Use the Linux VT instead of the graphics cards'
-colour lookup tables (CLUT). This requires that the
-program runs under the Linux VT, otherwise known
-as the TTY. This may not work too great one all
-graphics cards, some very expensive graphics cards
-are really bad. NVIDIA is known case of this,
-why the CLUT utilisation was added.
-
-If you are using a graphical environment and do not
-know how to access the Linux VT, here is how you do
-it: press
-.BR Ctrl+Alt+F1 ,
-if this does not open non-graphical login screen, press
-.B Alt+Right
-until you get one. To get back to graphical environment,
-hold down
-.B Alt+Right
-until it appears.
-
-Whilst unstickpixels may run on most systems (although
-Mir and, by Wayland's design, Wayland are not supported)
-this option is only known to function on Linux.
-.SH RATIONALE
-Acer/Packard Bell is not willing to repair all defects on
-my computer, but at least I can run this for several hours
-and try to revive dead pixels. Playing back a video that is
-already available on the Internet has some deficiencies:
-.TP
-*
-Requires a graphics card and video player that can
-play back the video in full screen mode efficiently.
-.TP
-*
-Requires
-.B X
-or a video player than can play video outside
-.B X
-efficiently.
-.TP
-*
-Requires the video to be downloaded if it was uploaded
-on Youtube, because Youtube does not properly support
-full screen.
-.TP
-*
-One video playback is required per defective monitor.
-.SH "SEE ALSO"
-No similar or otherwise related programs known, please
-file a bug if you know any.
-.TP
-There are some similar works in form of videos available
-on the Internet.
