29 | .TH xdmxconfig 1 __vendorversion__ | |
30 | .SH NAME | |
31 | xdmxconfig - a graphical configuration tool for Xdmx configuration files | |
32 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
33 | .B xdmxconfig | |
34 | [filename] | |
35 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
36 | .I xdmxconfig | |
37 | reads, edits, and writes configuration files for the Xdmx server. The | |
38 | grammar for the configuration file is specified in the Xdmx(1) manual | |
39 | page. | |
40 | .PP | |
41 | To start from scratch, create a "New Global" and specify the name and | |
42 | overall dimensions for the configuration. Then use "New Display" to | |
43 | enter more displays. | |
44 | .PP | |
45 | If there is more than one configuration, the configuration name button | |
46 | will bring up a selection menu. | |
47 | .PP | |
48 | In the right-hand pannel, the left mouse button will move the | |
49 | highlighted display at "tool resolution"; the middle mouse button will | |
50 | move the highlighted display by a single pixel (at "wall resolution"); | |
51 | and the right mouse button will bring up a menu allowing the highlighted | |
52 | display to be edited or deleted. The arrow keys will also move the | |
53 | highlighted display by a single pixel. | |
54 | .SH BUGS | |
55 | Currently, entries with the | |
56 | .B wall | |
57 | keyword are not editable, but will be preserved in the new output file. | |
58 | The tool will quit when requested by the user, even if a configuration | |
59 | file has not been written out (i.e., without warning). The menu | |
60 | interaction should be improved (menu entries that don't currently work | |
61 | should be greyed-out, for example). The Help button does not work. | |
