| 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. |
