simple screen locker utility for X.
Included in this build:
- DPMS Patch
- PAM auth patch
- Message patch
- Xft font support.
In order to build slock you need the Xlib header files.
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (slock is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install slock (if necessary as root):
make clean install
Simply invoke the 'slock' command. To get out of it, enter your password.
This fork leverages picom's new kawase blur method instead of taking a screenshot, blur it using ImageMagick without hardware acceleration and then set it as the lock screen wallpaper. The end result is much higher performance and much lower latency.
