DISPSWITCH(__appmansuffix__) NAME dispswitch - Display Device Switch SYNOPSIS /usr/bin/dispswitch [-display display] [-key keysym] [-mod modifier] [-help] [-verbose] [-nosideview] [-testrun] DESCRIPTION Dispswitch uses hotkey to switch/rotate on/off of display devices up to 3 devices. Side-by-side views are included when two devices are con- nected. It works on systems where both server and driver support RandR version 1.2 (or above). User can define a hotkey with -key and -mod options (see below), the default is "Shift + F5". If a key stroke is hit 5 seconds or longer after the previous switch, display devices are re-probed so that any changes such as adding or removing devices, can be detected and adapted to. If a new display device is added whose mode size is larger than the one with which X server is started, or a side-by-side view is switched into that needs a larger mode to cover both screens, a config file specify- ing larger virtual screen size (Virtual field in Screen Section) will be needed during X server startup. Otherwise the larger mode will not be realized, or the side-by-side view will be skipped. -help Print out a summary of the usage and exit. -verbose or -v Print out debug messages when run. -nosideview Skip side-by-side views in two devices rotating. -testrun Switch/rotate display device states repeatedly without hotkey strokes. -key <keysym> or -k <keysym> Define the keysym of hotkey to be <keysym>, which can be any entry defined in defined in /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h, with prefix XK_ removed, such as F5, F8, Escape. -mod <modifier> or -m <modifier> Define the modifier of hotkey to be <modifier>. <modifier> is any or combination of modifiers on your system. Run xmodmap(1) to find all available modifiers on your system. They can be none, shift, control, mod1, mod3, mod4, mod5, any. Examples: dispswitch -key Escape -mod shift defines hotkey to be 'shift + Esc' dispswitch -key F2 -mod "shift+control" defines hotkey to be 'shift + control + F2' ATTRIBUTES See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+------------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+------------------------------+ |Availability |pkg:/x11/x11-server-utilities | +-----------------------------+------------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Volatile | +-----------------------------+------------------------------+ __vendorversion__ DISPSWITCH(__appmansuffix__)
