30 .SH NAME
31 xdmxconfig - a graphical configuration tool for Xdmx configuration files
32 .SH SYNOPSIS
33 .B xdmxconfig
34 [filename]
35 .SH DESCRIPTION
36 .I xdmxconfig
37 reads, edits, and writes configuration files for the Xdmx server. The
38 grammar for the configuration file is specified in the Xdmx(1) manual
39 page.
40 .PP
41 To start from scratch, create a "New Global" and specify the name and
42 overall dimensions for the configuration. Then use "New Display" to
43 enter more displays.
44 .PP
45 If there is more than one configuration, the configuration name button
46 will bring up a selection menu.
47 .PP
48 In the right-hand pannel, the left mouse button will move the
49 highlighted display at "tool resolution"; the middle mouse button will
50 move the highlighted display by a single pixel (at "wall resolution");
51 and the right mouse button will bring up a menu allowing the highlighted
52 display to be edited or deleted. The arrow keys will also move the
53 highlighted display by a single pixel.
54 .SH BUGS
55 Currently, entries with the
56 .B wall
57 keyword are not editable, but will be preserved in the new output file.
58 The tool will quit when requested by the user, even if a configuration
59 file has not been written out (i.e., without warning). The menu
60 interaction should be improved (menu entries that don't currently work
61 should be greyed-out, for example). The Help button does not work.
