+
+
+<p> A TQt/Embedded application retquires a master application to be running
+or to be a master application itself. The master application is
+primarily responsible for managing top-level window regions, and
+pointer and keyboard input.
+<p> Any TQt/Embedded application can be a master application by
+constructing the <a href="qapplication.html">TQApplication</a> object with the
+<em>TQApplication::GuiServer</em> type, or by being run with the <em>-qws</em>
+command line option.
+<p> This document assumes you have the Linux framebuffer configured correctly
+and no master process is running. If you do not have a working Linux
+framebuffer you can use the
+<a href="emb-qvfb.html">TQt/Embedded virtual framebuffer</a>, or you can
+run TQt/Embedded as a <a href="emb-vnc.html">VNC server</a>.
+<p> Change to a Linux console and select an example to run, e.g. <tt>examples/widgets</tt>. Make sure $QTDIR is set to the directory where you
+installed TQt/Embedded and add the $QTDIR/lib directory to
+$LD_LIBRARY_PATH, e.g.:
+<pre>
+export QTDIR=$HOME/qt-VERSION
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+</pre>
+
+<p> Run the application with the <em>-qws</em> option:
+<p> <pre>
+cd $QTDIR/examples/widgets
+./widgets -qws
+</pre>
+
+<p> You should see the <tt>widgets</tt> example appear. If your mouse doesn't
+work correctly you must specify the type of mouse to use. You can
+exit the master application at any time using
+<b>Ctrl+Alt+Backspace</b>.
+<p> If you wish to run additional applications you should run them as clients
+i.e. without the <em>-qws</em> option.
+<p> <h2> Displays
+</h2>
+<a name="1"></a><p> TQt/Embedded allows multiple displays to be used simultaneously by running
+multiple TQt/Embedded master processes. This is achieved using the -display
+command line parameter or the $TQWS_DISPLAY environment variable.
+<p> The -display parameter's syntax is:
+<pre>
+ [gfx driver][:driver specific options][:display number]
+</pre>
+
+For example, if you want to use the mach64 driver on fb1 as display 2:
+<pre>
+ $ ./launcher -display Mach64:/dev/fb1:2
+</pre>
+
+<p> To try this functionality you can do the following:
+<ol type=1>
+<li> Change to VC 1 (virtual console one) and run the launcher:
+<p> <pre>
+ $ cd examples/launcher
+ $ ./launcher
+</pre>
+
+<p> <li> Switch to VC 2 and run another one:
+<p> <pre>
+ $ cd examples/launcher
+ $ ./launcher -display :1
+</pre>
+
+<p> Another launcher will be started. Start an application in this launcher.
+<p> <li> Press <b>Ctrl+Alt+F1</b> - back to display 0. You can also start
+additional applications on a particular display by specifying the
+display id. Change to VC 3:
+<p> <pre>
+ $ cd examples/widgets
+ $ ./widgets -display :1
+</pre>
+
+<p> will display the widgets example on dislpay :1 (VC 2).
+</ol>
+<p> Only the master process needs to specify the driver/device part
+explicitly. The clients get the information they need from the master
+when they connect. So once you have a master server running using a
+particular driver, you can just use "client -display :n" to use
+display n.
+<p> <h2> Mouse Input
+</h2>
+<a name="2"></a><p> TQt/Embedded attempts to autodetect a mouse by default. The supported
+protocols are MouseMan, Microsoft, IntelliMouse and
+some other devices specific to certain hardware (e.g. Vr touch panel).
+To specify the mouse to use set the <tt>$TQWS_MOUSE_PROTO</tt> environment
+variable, e.g.:
+<pre>
+export TQWS_MOUSE_PROTO=IntelliMouse
+</pre>
+
+<p> The mouse autodetection opens the serial devices and psaux which
+may cause conflicts with other programs using those devices. If
+this is the case then specify the mouse driver protocol and device
+explicitly.
