NAME¶
xdmxconfig - a graphical configuration tool for Xdmx configuration 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.
