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'
