On our color SUN 3/60 machines, there are two X screens for the display. Moving the mouse pointer off either side of the root window will cause the other screen to be displayed (one is black and white, the other is 8bit color). This method of moving between screens is distracting and very uncomfortable. I know that Masscomp (now Concurrent) had a client called XWarper which allowed the user to move between multiple screens using a button. Does anyone know where I can find such a beast? or what properties or commands I could use to write my own? Thanks Eric | esl0422@ultb.isc.rit.edu | esl0422@ritvax.isc.rit.edu | esl0422@ritvax.bitnet

It can be disabled with the -zaphod option to the server (I am assuming you are running R4). > I know that Masscomp (now Concurrent) had a client called XWarper > which allowed the user to move between multiple screens using a > button. > Does anyone know where I can find such a beast? I have something similar available for ftp from 132.206.1.1, in X/xscreenwarp.c. > or what properties or commands I could use to write my own? To flip between screens, use XWarpPointer to warp the pointer to the desired screen; this causes the server to switch the display over to the screen the pointer is warped to. The user interface to drive this can be designed to taste. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu

I wrote one for Intergraph workstations that have two virtual screens but only one physical screen. It is rather simple to do. Email me for a copy or better yet, tell me how I get it placed on some well known FTP node like expo. Doyle ------------------------------------------------------------------ Doyle C.
