I'm using Linux Mint 18 on a dell laptop, with screen saver as in



enter image description here



Since some of themes are very pretty and geometrical, I'd like to keep them running on my laptop on an exposition room, that is, while people walk around and have some coffee break, they could enjoy the beauty of screen saver.



But, in this case, I'd like to lock it on the screen, that is, even pressing any key or moving the cursor, it should keep running. Is it possible?



I know how to lock it, but when press any key the password field appears and stay there for some seconds. I don't want this.



Since it is necessary some way to disable it, I suspect to run it on some tty?

          Screensavers on Linux are just executables, in the case on my system under /usr/libexec/xscreensaver. By default they start the screensaver in a window; pass -h to the executable to see what options it supports.

          How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers.
