XMINDPATH(1) General Commands Manual XMINDPATH(1) NAME xmindpath -- MindPath PocketPoint user-level driver for X11 SYNOPSIS xmindpath [-dv] [-f dev] DESCRIPTION xmindpath 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 transmitted as 1200bps IrDA signal, which can be parsed by your com- puter. xmindpath parses the IrDA input signal, and maps the keypress as follows: right arrow Mouse button 1 (leftmost mouse button). This key will be in- terpreted by mgp(1) as "proceed page" request. left arrow Mouse button 3 (rightmost mouse button). This key will be in- terpreted 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 ser- ial port. With -v, xmindpath will generate more messages. -d option is provided just for debugging sessions. RETURN VALUES The program exits with 0 on success, non-zero on failures. SEE ALSO mgp(1). MindPath PocketPoint: http://www.mindpath.com/ppoint.htm 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.
