On all of the +monitors. It helps to massage defective dots. + +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. Dead (always black) pixels are hard to revive, stuck pixels on the other hand are more probable to get fixed. -This program should be run under the Linux VT. It works by -cycling the colour on the screen between sRGB(100 %, 0, 0), -sRGB(0, 100 %, 0) and sRGB(0, 0, 100 %), as fast as possible. -If you want to slow down the cycling you can add, as the only -argument, the millisecond time sleep between the colours. +@command{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 @option{-v} may +help, it will use the framebuffer indirectly, via the terminal. +Unless @option{-v} is used, @command{unstickpixels} runs both +in @command{X} and on the Linux VT. |
