The primary selection is similarly set. +.TP 10 +.B Next +Switch the Xserver to the next video mode. +.TP 10 +.B Prev +Switch the Xserver to the previous video mode. +.PP +For some S3-based cards (964 and 968) the following are also available: +.TP 10 +.B InvertVCLK +Change the VCLK invert/non-invert state. +.TP 10 +.B EarlySC +Change the Early SC state. This affects screen wrapping. +.PP +.nf +.B BlankDelay1 +.B BlankDelay2 +.fi +.RS 10 +Set the blank delay values. This affects screen wrapping. Acceptable +values are in the range 0\-7. The values may be incremented or decremented +with the `+' and `-' buttons, or by pressing the `+' or `-' keys in the +text field. +.RE +.PP +For S3-864/868 based cards \fIInvertVCLK\fP and \fIBlankDelay1\fP may +be useful. For S3 Trio32/Trio64 cards only \fIInvertVCLK\fP is available. +At the moment there are no default settings available for these chips +in the video mode extension and thus this feature is disabled in xvidtune. +It can be enabled by setting any of the optional S3 commands in the +screen section of XF86Config, e.g. using +.RS 10 +.B blank_delay \fI"\(**"\fP 0 +.RE +.SH OPTIONS +\fIxvidtune\fP accepts the standard X Toolkit command line options as well +as the following: +.TP 10 +.B \-show +Print the current settings to stdout in XF86Config +"Modeline" format and exit. +.TP 10 +.B \-prev +Switch the Xserver to the previous video mode. +.TP 10 +.B \-next +Switch the Xserver to the next video mode. +.TP 10 +.B \-unlock +Normally, \fIxvidtune\fP will disable the switching of video modes +via hot-keys while it is running. If for some reason the program +did not exit cleanly and they are still disabled, the program can +be re-run with this option to re-enable the mode switching key +combinations. +.SH SEE ALSO +XF86Config(4/5), XFree86(1) +.SH AUTHORS +Kaleb S. Keithley, X Consortium. +.br +Additions and modifications by Jon Tombs, David Dawes, and Joe Moss. +.SH BUGS +X Error handling, i.e. when the server does not allow xvidtune +clients to write new modes, could be better. |
