XMINDPATH(1) BSD General Commands Manual XMINDPATH(1)NAMExmindpath — MindPath PocketPoint user-level driver for X11
SYNOPSISxmindpath [-dv] [-f dev]
DESCRIPTIONxmindpath reads signal sent from MindPath PocketPoint device via serial
port, and translate that into X11 event.
PocketPoint is a laser pointer, with three remote control keys. Three
keys are right arrow, left arrow and "f/x" key. Keypress will be trans‐
mitted as 1200bps IrDA signal, which can be parsed by your computer.
xmindpath parses the IrDA input signal, and maps the keypress as follows:
right arrow
Mouse button 1 (leftmost mouse button). This key will be inter‐
preted by mgp(1) as "proceed page" request.
left arrow
Mouse button 3 (rightmost mouse button). This key will be inter‐
preted by mgp(1) as "go back one page" request.
f/x key
Currently mouse button 2 (middle mouse button) is mapped to this
key. However, this will be changed in the near future.
To perform remote-controlled presentation, invoke xmindpath simultane‐
ously with mgp(1) (maybe from other terminal window).
If you specify dev after -f, the specified device will be used as serial
port. With -v, xmindpath will generate more messages. -d option is pro‐
vided just for debugging sessions.
RETURN VALUES
The program exits with 0 on success, non-zero on failures.

HISTORY
The xmindpath command was implemented by Jun-ichiro Itoh
<itojun@itojun.org>.
This program derives most of its X11 related code from twiddler driver.
BUGS
Keycode for "f/x" key should be configurable. BSDI gettyd(8) support
would be desirable.
