# autocal(1)

tools for adjusting various overlay values

## NAME

autocal and dxr3view — tools for adjusting various overlay values

## SYNOPSIS

**autocal and dxr3view**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the  **autocal and dxr3view** commands.

This manual page was written for the **Debian GNU/Linux** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.

**autocal and dxr3view** are program that can be used to   fine tune the size, shape, and appearance of the overlay to a certain  extent.

First, run autocal. This will make the screen flash for a second. This  has to be done every time the microcode is reloaded, which means that  you must load Xine or OMS before running autocal. Yeah, I know its silly.  Should be fixed in the future. Then you have to run dxr3view. This will  bring up a rectangular window with the overlay window on top. It should  look akin to the windows overlay. Now, you should be able to press play  in Xine or OMS and watch your MPEG.

The control window in dxr3view can be  used to fine tune the size, shape, and appearance of the overlay to a  certain extent. Also, if you press 't' while the mouse is over the  dxr3view window, a menu with several options, including fullscreen, will  appear.
