Welcome back to the wonders of Xv..! ====================================== Environment variables: ---------------------- Currently there aren't any amiga specific flags but rather some environment variables that are read by the libX11. setenv X11/debug 1 Prints some info as what is going on, also using -DEBUG 2 may give some more info from xv. setenv X11/usepub Workbench The image will be displayed in a window on a public screen. You can also use 'xv -display Workbench'. This will use pensharing and it's unfortunately wb3.0+ only. If you use this without Wb3.0+ the program will happily crash the machine.. setenv X11/monitorid A1000 The default monitorid that BestModeID gets. Not sure how useful this one is, and I use a screen promoting program without any noticeable problems with screenmodes. setenv X11/gfxcard 1 Will use WritePixelArray instead of Morten Eriksen's c2p routines. Those usually doesn't work too well with gfx cards. setenv X11/askmode 1 Is used with xanim to specify the screenmode which the anim is showed on. Doesn't make sense to use this with Xv. bits & pieces: -------------- So where is the middle button? (Button2). I can't find one on my mouse so I added a toggle button that switches the right mousebutton into middle mouse button. 'Caps Lock' will switch buttons. If you have 3 buttons it will probably work nicely without using 'Caps Lock'. gzip'ed files will be gunzip'ed if you have gunzip in your path. Postscript loading needs the postscript datatype and post.library. Set stack to 20000 or more, if not xv will probably crash for no apparent reason. There isn't any stack check in order to gain a litte speed. The 'meta' key is mapped to the 'alt' key on the amiga.

This is not a result of a huge number of contributions (4 contributions in as many months!) but because I may loose my account (terjepe@stud.cs.uit.no) soon! TP
