software to display images on a rotation

[dj+fedora at delorie.com]

I built a slideshow system on my laptop for the local cub scouts,
using xv:

#!/bin/bash

xsetroot -solid black &
xset -dpms &
xset s off &
/usr/slideshow/unclutter &

while true
do
  cd /usr/slideshow/scouts
  /usr/local/bin/xv -wait 3 -random */*.jpg
done


I pre-scaled all my images to match the screen size, else you can add
"-maxpect" to that command line.  Scaling results in faster switching
between images.
