NAME

Xtisdb − Texas Instruments TMS34010 Software Development Board Smart Board Interface server for X11

SYNOPSIS

Xtisdb [ option ] ...

DESCRIPTION

Xtisdb is the server for INTER­ACTIVE X11 running on an INTER­ACTIVE UNIX Operating System, Version 2.2 or later, using the Texas Instruments TMS34010 Software Development Board display adapter.  The Xtisdb server is able to provide an effective display area that is larger than the one provided by the standard Xtisdb display adapter.  See “panning” below for more details. 

If you want to change the memory map address of the Texas Instruments TMS34010 Software Development Board, then you must reconfigure the tisdb kernel driver.  To do this, see tisdb(7). This should only be necessary if you want to install a different address PAL. 

Xtisdb operates on a 386- or 486-based ISA or EISA computer.  It is normally invoked by a program such as xinit(1) or by the INTER­ACTIVE Easy Windows Environment. 

VT flipping is supported on this board.  (For additional information on virtual terminals and VT flipping, refer to the section “USING VIRTUAL TERMINALS” in the “INTERACTIVE UNIX Operating System Primer” in the INTERACTIVE UNIX System Guide for New Users.) Note that only one Xtisdb server can be run at a time. 

OPTIONS

−config configuration file
Specifies an alternate configuration file to be used instead of /usr/lib/X11/Xconfig. 

Other options are described under Xserver(1).

CONFIGURATION

The Info field in the configuration file (see Xconfig(5)) is used to specify options to Xtisdb. This field should be a quoted string consisting of 0 or more keyword parameters, for example, "config_mode=1 pan=y". 

The configuration mode specifies the board configuration (resolution, pixel size, etc.) that will be used. 

The following table describes the configuration modes available:

The Xtisdb server in configuration mode 1 supports panning of the visible screen area across a larger effective screen.  Panning the visible screen means using the screen as a window onto a larger display area.  When the mouse travels to an edge of the screen, the entire screen will appear to slide over the full display area.  This allows users without “extended” display adapters to have a larger work area than would otherwise be available.  Panning can be enabled by adding the keyword parameter pan=y or disabled by adding the keyword parameter pan=n into the Info field of the configuration file. 

The display width and height can be made smaller by specifying the keyword parameters display_width=nnn and display_height=nnn.  This may be useful in limiting the panned area so that the screen does not become too large to be useful when using a window manager such as Motif, which utilizes pop-up boxes.  It is not possible to increase either the width or the height of the display. 

The screen width and height can be specified with the keywords screen_width=nnn and screen_height=nnn.  This specifies the dimensions of the screen in inches.  This value must be an integer. 

For example, the following configuration file entry fully specifies display 0 to be a standard Xtisdb console display 448 pixels wide by 480 pixels high with 16 colors, with panning enabled, running on a screen 12 inches wide and 9 inches high:
