sax2(1) Utils for X-Window sax2(1)NAMExquery - query the X-Server for a various set of information
SYNOPSISxquery [ options ]
DESCRIPTIONxquery is used to obtain/set special information from/to the X-Server
like new modeline timings to change size and position of the picture or
check for active number of screens... see the options chapter to get an
overview of what xquery can do
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
Available command line options are the following:
-s Get number of available screens.
-a "screen timing"
Apply new modeline timing to the X-Server which may change the
current geometry of the picture. The option -a takes only one
parameter which is a string containing the screen and timing
information. Every value of the parameter is seperated by a sin‐
gle space, screen define which screen should be used to apply
the new timing and timing specify the new timing values. Timing
parameters are the following:
1. Horizontal display value
2. Number of horizontal ticks before vsync-start
3. Number of horizontal ticks until vsync-end
4. Total number of horizontal ticks
5. Vertical display value
6. Number of vertical ticks before vsync-start
7. Number of vertical ticks until vsync-end
8. Total number of vertical ticks
-m Obtain currently used modelines for all screens
-r Obtain currently used resolutions for all screens
-y Obtain sync ranges from the active configuration for all screens
-n screen
Switch to next mode of the given screen, according to Modes con‐
figuration parameter which is located within the screen section
of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
-p screen
Same as option -n except switching to the previous mode.
-d display
Set basic display to use. Specify only the major display number
without any screen information because the number of screens are
acounted from xquery itself.
-c Get current color depths for all screens.
-f Get current used frequencies for all screens.
-M Get middle point coordinates of all screens.
-S Get screen number of the screen the mouse is currently over.
-R "screen text"
Show XFT rendered string on a specific screen.
NOTExquery take care about Xinerama sessions. This means even if you have
only one big screen, xquery will know about the single screens building
this big screen. Unfortunately there are Xinerama or similar extensions
built into binary drivers like nvidia which are not handled correctly
via xquery.
