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.
