[1mNAME
     [0mxcontrol - X Control Panel

[1mSYNOPSIS
     xcontrol [0m[ _t_o_o_l_k_i_t _o_p_t_i_o_n... ]

[1mDESCRIPTION
     [0m_X_c_o_n_t_r_o_l is a control panel application which allows the
     user to tailor the behaviour of the X server.  It provides
     many of the facilities of _x_s_e_t(_1) but with a much nicer user
     interface.

[1mMENUS
     [0mThe menubar at the top of the window has two entries.  _Q_u_i_t
     contains only one button, _E_x_i_t, which quits the application.
     _U_p_d_a_t_e contains two buttons.  _S_e_t _a_l_l resends all of
     _x_c_o_n_t_r_o_l'_s current settings to the server.  This is useful
     if you think that the server's settings have been changed
     under your feet (by _x_s_e_t(_1) perhaps).  _G_e_t _a_l_l does the
     exact opposite; it reset's _x_c_o_n_t_r_o_l'_s state to that of the X
     server.  This is useful if you have altered the server with
     _x_s_e_t and want to see the changes reflected in _x_c_o_n_t_r_o_l.

[1mGENERAL
     [0mThe general section contains just one toggle button, which
     controls the `bug compatibility' mode of the Release 4
     server.  If your server does not support this feature then
     the toggle will be insensitive and shaded out.

[1mBELL
     [0mThis section comprises three sliders controlling bell
     volume, duration and pitch.  The bell is sounded after each
     adjustment so you can hear the difference it made.

[1mMOUSE SPEED
     [0mThe mouse speed section has two sliders which let you con-
     trol the mouse feel.  The first slider controls the
     acceleration, which is an integer multiple to be applied to
     all mouse movements over a certain number of pixels.  The
     second slider controls this number of pixels, called the
     threshold.

[1mKEYBOARD
     [0mThis section contains a slider to control the keyclick
     volume from 0 (off) to 100 (full volume).	It also holds a
     toggle button to turn autorepeat on and off.

[1mFONT PATH
     [0mThe font path may be edited using the standard Motif editing
     commands.	It should be arranged one directory per line with
     a terminating slash character (/) at the end of each line.
     The `Set' button sends the edited string to the server, and

     the `Get' button gets the server's idea of the font path.
     The `Default' button replaces the contents of the font path
     with a sensible default value, but does not actually send it
     to the server.

[1mSCREENSAVER
     [0mThe screensaver is controlled by two sliders which set the
     timeout and cycle interval times (times in minutes).  The
     interval only applies to the `graphic' screensaver.  The
     `Saver type' buttons control whether the server works by
     blanking the screen or displaying a periodically changing
     graphic display.  The `Allow exposures' buttons, when set to
     `No', prevent the screensaver from operating if it would
     cause clients to receive expose events.  The `Activate' push
     button allows you to start the screensaver manually.  There
     is a one second pause to allow the mouse to settle before
     the screensaver is invoked.

     Acorn X servers do not support a graphic screen saver, but
     _x_c_o_n_t_r_o_l provides facilities to manipulate one in case you
     want to use it to control a non-Acorn server across the net-
     work.

[1mBUGS
     [0mDue to a deficiency in the X11 protocol, it is not possible
     to control the keyboard autorepeat rate.  This must be set
     from the command line when the X server is started; see
     _X_a_r_m(_1).
