As shipped in IRIX 6.5.30. Last changed in IRIX 6.5.22.
NAME xsetmon, xscreen - set video output format, sync sources and gamma correction values SYNOPSIS xsetmon [-display display] [-help] [-nogui] [-target target display] [filename] DESCRIPTION xsetmon is a GUI program that allows a user to control the graphics back end. Users can set the video output format/combinations, the sync sources for the graphics display, the output channel gain, and gamma correction values. xsetmon can also be used to set the default video format to be used at system power-up or graphics initialization. Users wishing to change the default video format must have root privileges on the target machine. The Formats/Combinations page lists the valid video output formats available for the display. The load button activates the selection. Each item in the list of valid formats/combinations is prefixed with one of the following designations: "D" for those that can be loaded dynamically (i.e. takes effect immediately). "DX" for those that can also be loaded non-dynamically (i.e. takes effect after the Xserver is restarted). "X" for those that can only be loaded non-dynamically (also referred to as non-volatile). An Xserver restart is required to configure a larger managed area. When loading a non-volatile format/combination, the user will be prompted to set it to be the power-on default, and informed that a logout is necessary for the change to take effect. The Server page provides Sync source and Sync voltage controls. The Channel page provides Gain control for the display channel. The Gamma page provides RGB gamma correction controls. OPTIONS -display display This argument allows you to specify the server to connect to; see X(1). -help Print out the `Usage:' command syntax summary. -target target display This argument allows you to specify the target display whose video output you want to affect. -nogui This argument allows Xsetmon to load a file previously saved without the user's intervention. NOTES xscreen is an alternative name for xsetmon. ENVIRONMENT DISPLAY To set the default host name and display number for the Xsetmon window. SEE ALSO setmon(1G), gamma(6D), XSGIvc(3)
