New Package: x2x-1.30-1

New Package: x2x-1.30-1

[Thomas Chadwick]

Version 1.30beta of x2x has been added to the Cygwin distribution as a
new package, x2x-1.30-1, and marked as a TEST release (more about that
in the "installation" section below).


DESCRIPTION:

Allow me to quote from the x2x-1.30 man page:

x2x  allows the keyboard and mouse on one ("from") X display to be used
to control another ("to") X display.  Since x2x uses the  XTEST  exten-
sion, the "to" X display must support XTEST.

If  x2x  is built under Cygwin (on Windows XP or Windows 2000) then the
-fromwin option may be specified to allow the "from" display to be  the
Windows  desktop.  (The  Cygwin build also supports use of an X display
for the "from" screen). Use of -fromwin sets the default  behaviour  as
if the -big -west -capslockhack options had also been given.

Unless the -nosel option is specified, x2x relays X selections from one
display to the other. (If -fromwin is specified then the X selection is
relayed to and from the Windows clipboard as text strings).
