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.
