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 con‐
       nected. 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  previous  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  specify‐
       ing  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 <keysym> or -k <keysym>
	      Define the keysym of hotkey to be <keysym>,  which  can  be  any
	      entry  defined  in defined in /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h, with
	      prefix XK_ removed, such as F5, F8, Escape.

       -mod <modifier> or -m <modifier>
	      Define the modifier of hotkey to be  <modifier>.	<modifier>  is
	      any  or  combination of modifiers on your system. Run xmodmap(1)
	      to find all available modifiers on  your	system.	 They  can  be
	      none, shift, control, mod1, mod3, mod4, mod5, any.

Examples:
       dispswitch  -key	 Escape -mod shift	 defines hotkey to be 'shift +
       Esc'

       dispswitch -key F2  -mod	 "shift+control"       defines	hotkey	to  be
       'shift + control + F2'
