HEPiX X11 Scripts Customisation

The most important changes are the fvwm and fvwm setups, using the preparation script triggered by the "-prepare" flag in $HX_WM.

You can customise this preparation; this is described in the in the documents:


Tools

guesskbd

This guesses the keyboard used on the current display using the program xmodmap and the keyboard databases of the program xkeycaps.

Its output can be eval'ed by a shell script to provide the variables $HX_KEYBOARD and $HX_KBD_TYPE.

It's in ASIS under /usr/local/bin/guesskbd.


Variables

HX_KBD_TYPE

The type of the keyboard, derived from its name with a table: `pc', `vt200', `vt300' or `other'

HX_KEYBOARD

The "official" name of the keyboard as known by the X program xkeycaps, e.g. `LK201'
