+
+ \title Qt for Embedded Linux Environment Variables
+ \ingroup qt-embedded-linux
+
+ These environment variables are relevant to \l{Qt for Embedded Linux}
+ users.
+
+ \table
+ \header \o Variable \o Description
+
+ \row
+ \o \bold POINTERCAL_FILE \target POINTERCAL_FILE
+
+ \o Specifies the file containing the data used to calibrate the
+ pointer device.
+
+ See also QWSCalibratedMouseHandler and \l{Qt for Embedded Linux Pointer
+ Handling}.
+
+ \row
+ \o \bold QT_ONSCREEN_PAINT \target QT_ONSCREEN_PAINT
+
+ \o If defined, the application will render its widgets directly on
+ screen. The affected regions of the screen will not be modified by
+ the screen driver unless another window with a higher focus
+ requests (parts of) the same region.
+
+ Setting this environment variable is equivalent to setting the
+ Qt::WA_PaintOnScreen attribute for all the widgets in the
+ application.
+
+ See also the Qt for Embedded Linux \l{Qt for Embedded Linux Architecture#Graphics
+ Rendering}{graphics rendering} documentation.
+
+ \row
+ \o \bold QWS_SW_CURSOR \target QWS_SW_CURSOR
+ \o If defined, the software mouse cursor is always used (even when using an
+ accelerated driver that supports a hardware cursor).
+
+ \row
+ \o \bold QWS_DISPLAY \target QWS_DISPLAY
+ \o
+
+ Specifies the display type and framebuffer. For example, if the
+ current shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_emb-envvars.qdoc 0
+
+ The valid values for the \c <driver> argument are \c LinuxFb, \c
+ QVFb, \c VNC, \c Transformed, \c Multi and \l
+ {QScreenDriverPlugin::keys()}{keys} identifying custom drivers,
+ and the \c {<display num>} argument is used to separate screens
+ that are using the same screen driver and to enable multiple
+ displays (see the \l {Running Qt for Embedded Linux Applications}
+ documentation for more details).
+
+ The driver specific options are described in the \l{Qt for Embedded Linux
+ Display Management}{display management} documentation.
+
+ \row
+ \o \bold QWS_SIZE \target QWS_SIZE
+ \o
+
+ Specifies the size of the \l{Qt for Embedded Linux} window which is centered
+ within the screen. For example, if the current shell is bash, ksh,
+ zsh or sh:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_emb-envvars.qdoc 1
+
+ \row
+ \o \bold QWS_MOUSE_PROTO \target QWS_MOUSE_PROTO
+ \o
+
+ Specifies the driver for pointer handling. For example, if the
+ current shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_emb-envvars.qdoc 2
+
+ The valid values for the \c <driver> argument are \c MouseMan, \c
+ IntelliMouse, \c Microsoft, \c VR41xx, \c LinuxTP, \c Yopy. \c
+ Tslib and \l {QMouseDriverPlugin::keys()}{keys} identifying
+ custom drivers, and the driver specific options are typically a
+ device, e.g., \c /dev/mouse for mouse devices and \c /dev/ts for
+ touch panels.
+
+ Multiple keyboard drivers can be specified in one go:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_emb-envvars.qdoc 3
+
+ Input will be read from all specified drivers.
+ Note that the \c Vr41xx driver also accepts two optional
+ arguments: \c press=<value> defining a mouseclick (the default
+ value is 750) and \c filter=<value> specifying the length of the
+ filter used to eliminate noise (the default length is 3). For
+ example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_emb-envvars.qdoc 4
+
+ See also \l {Qt for Embedded Linux Pointer Handling}.
+
+ \row
+ \o \bold QWS_KEYBOARD \target QWS_KEYBOARD
+ \o
+
+ Specifies the driver and device for character input. For example, if the
+ current shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_emb-envvars.qdoc 5
+
+ The valid values for the \c <driver> argument are \c SL5000, \c
+ Yopy, \c VR41xx, \c TTY, \c USB and \l
+ {QKbdDriverPlugin::keys()}{keys} identifying custom drivers,
+ and the driver specific options are typically a device, e.g., \c
+ /dev/tty0.
+
+ Multiple keyboard drivers can be specified in one go:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_emb-envvars.qdoc 6
+
+ Input will be read from all specified drivers.
+
+ See also \l {Qt for Embedded Linux Character Input}.
