NAME
     dispswitch - Display Device Switch

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/dispswitch [-display display] [-key  keysym]  [-mod
     modifier] [-help] [-verbose] [-nosideview] [-testrun]

DESCRIPTION
     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  previ-
     ous  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.


     -help
          Print out a summary of the usage and exit.

     -verbose or -v
          Print out debug messages when run.

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

     -testrun
          Switch/rotate display device states repeatedly  without
          hotkey strokes.

     -key  or -k 
          Define the keysym of hotkey to be ,  which  can
          be     any     entry     defined    in    defined    in
          /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h, with prefix XK_  removed,
          such as F5, F8, Escape.

     -mod  or -m 
          Define the modifier of hotkey to be .           ier> is any or combination of modifiers on your system.

          system.  They  can be none, shift, control, mod1, mod3,
          mod4, mod5, any.

     'shift + Esc'

     to be 'shift + control + F2'
