dispswitch \- Display Device Switch

.SH SYNOPSIS

[\-key \fIkeysym\fP]

[\-help]

[\-verbose]

.SH DESCRIPTION

.I 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 connected. 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 specifying 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.

.IP \-help

Print out a summary of the usage and exit.

.IP "\-verbose or -v"

Print out debug messages when run.

.IP \-nosideview

Skip side-by-side views in two devices rotating.

.IP \-testrun

Switch/rotate display device states repeatedly without hotkey strokes.

.IP "\-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.

.IP "\-mod <modifier> or -m <modifier>"

Define the modifier of hotkey to be <modifier>. <modifier> is any or combination of modifiers on your system. Run 

.BR xmodmap (1)

to find all available modifiers on your system. They can be none, shift, control, mod1, mod3, mod4, mod5, any.

.SH

Examples:

dispswitch -key Escape -mod shift		defines hotkey to be 'shift + Esc'

.sp

dispswitch -key F2 -mod "shift+control" 	defines hotkey to be 'shift + control + F2'
