XSETMON(1)              Silicon Graphics               XSETMON(1)


     NAME
          xsetmon, xscreen - set video output format, sync sources and
          gamma correction values

     SYNOPSIS
          xsetmon [-display display] [-help] [-nogui] [-target target
          display] [filename]

     DESCRIPTION
          xsetmon is a GUI program that allows a user to control the
          graphics back end.  Users can set the video output
          format/combinations, the sync sources for the graphics
          display, the output channel gain, and gamma correction
          values.  xsetmon can also be used to set the default video
          format to be used at system power-up or graphics
          initialization. Users wishing to change the default video
          format must have root privileges on the target machine.

          The Formats/Combinations page lists the valid video output
          formats available for the display. The load button activates
          the selection.

          Each item in the list of valid formats/combinations is
          prefixed with one of the following designations:

              "D" for those that can be loaded dynamically (i.e. takes
               effect immediately).

              "DX" for those that can also be loaded non-dynamically
              (i.e. takes effect after the Xserver is restarted).

              "X" for those that can only be loaded non-dynamically
              (also referred to as non-volatile).  An Xserver restart
              is required to configure a larger managed area.

          When loading a non-volatile format/combination, the user
          will be prompted to set it to be the power-on default, and
          informed that a logout is necessary for the change to take
          effect.

          The Server page provides Sync source and Sync voltage
          controls.

          The Channel page provides Gain control for the display
          channel.

          The Gamma page provides RGB gamma correction controls.

     OPTIONS
          -display display
                  This argument allows you to specify the server to
                  connect to; see X(1).


          -help   Print out the `Usage:' command syntax summary.

          -target target display
                  This argument allows you to specify the target
                  display whose video output you want to affect.

          -nogui  This argument allows Xsetmon to load a file
                  previously saved without the user's intervention.

     NOTES
          xscreen is an alternative name for xsetmon.
