How to display a black blank screen under X ?
I need to display a black screen, just to ensure that some students will focus on the audio.
linked to this thread : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...nder-x-703804/ |
Try this : 'xterm -background black'
to get xterm with no command prompt, no cursor. Maximize it, and scroll away the "Menu line". |
You can apply a blank screensaver and unplug the mouse and the keyboard from the case to prevent user input.

Smart ideas !
Thanks. |

Might want to take a look at iTALC - Intelligent Teaching And Learning with Computers

I also started a list of Linux Educational resources for software and whatnot.. always appreciate updates to that list as well if you know of any sites or resources I do not have listed yet. Best of luck in your endeavours. |
I knew iTALC, but i'm doing an easier-to-use homemade version for our teachers.
I already reproduced almost every features, but in a different manner. And it uses "only one computer", as all stations are booted via PXE. Of course it is Slackware-powered. I intend to make it available as a disk image to all, when it will be 100% tested and operationnal. Anyway thanks for your answer and your numerous links !!! I'll browse them to include whatever useful. You can add this to your list: http://moodle.org/ http://www.limesurvey.org/ For the xscreensaver part, i used this : xscreensaver-command -lock It works like a charm, except for the login screen, which appears when an input event occurs, but it's np :^).
