xdmxconfig(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual xdmxconfig(1)
NAME
xdmxconfig - a graphical configuration tool for Xdmx confi-
guration files
SYNOPSIS
xdmxconfig [filename]
DESCRIPTION
xdmxconfig reads, edits, and writes configuration files for
the Xdmx server. The grammar for the configuration file is
specified in the Xdmx(1) manual page.
To start from scratch, create a "New Global" and specify the
name and overall dimensions for the configuration. Then use
"New Display" to enter more displays.
If there is more than one configuration, the configuration
name button will bring up a selection menu.
In the right-hand pannel, the left mouse button will move
the highlighted display at "tool resolution"; the middle
mouse button will move the highlighted display by a single
pixel (at "wall resolution"); and the right mouse button
will bring up a menu allowing the highlighted display to be
edited or deleted. The arrow keys will also move the
highlighted display by a single pixel.
BUGS
Currently, entries with the wall keyword are not editable,
but will be preserved in the new output file. The tool will
quit when requested by the user, even if a configuration
file has not been written out (i.e., without warning). The
menu interaction should be improved (menu entries that don't
currently work should be greyed-out, for example). The Help
button does not work.
