                     14: DESCRIPTION
                     15:      This program is used to set various user preference options
                     16:      of the display.  The c option controls key click, the l
                     17:      option controls the lock key, the r option controls the auto
                     18:      repeat, the b option controls bell volume, the m option con-
                     19:      trols the mouse parameters, the p option controls pixel
                     20:      color values, and the s and v options let you set the screen
                     21:      saver parameters. Any of these can be preceded with a - to
                     22:      disable the feature, or followed by on or off if you prefer.
                     23:      The keyclick option can also be followed by an optional
                     24:      digit between 1 and 8 to indicate volume. For example:
                     25:      ``xset c on'' turns on keyclick; ``xset -r'' would turn off
                     26:      autorepeat; ``xset b 5'' sets the bell volume.
                     27: 
                     28:      The parameters for the mouse are ``acceleration'' and
                     29:      ``threshold''.  The acceleration of the mouse only takes
                     30:      effect if the ``threshold'' is exceeded.
                     31: 
                     32:      The parameters for a pixel are the color map entry number in
                     33:      decimal, and a color specification.  The root window colors
                     34:      can be changed by altering entries 0 and 1.  The map entry
                     35:      must not be a read-only color, or an error will result.
                     36: 
                     37:      The parameters for the screen saver function determines how
                     38:      long the server must be inactive for screen saving to go on,
                     39:      and the period to change the background pattern to avoid
                     40:      burn in.  The arguments are specified in minutes. Using the
                     41:      v option sets the preference to blank the video (if the
                     42:      hardware can do so) rather than display a background pat-
                     43:      tern.  Using the s option sets the preference to display a
                     44:      pattern rather than blank the video.
                     45: 
                     46:      These settings will be reset to default values when you log
                     47:      out.
                     48: 
                     49:      Note that not all X implementations are guaranteed to honor
                     50:      all of these options.
