<p><table align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<thead><tr valign="top" class="qt-style"><th>Variable</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead>
<tr valign="top" class="odd"><td><b>QWS_SW_CURSOR</b> <a name="qws-sw-cursor"></a></td><td>If defined, always use a software mouse cursor even when using an accelerated driver that supports a hardware cursor.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="even"><td><b>QWS_DISPLAY</b> <a name="qws-display"></a></td><td>Specifies the display type and framebuffer. For example, if the current shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh:<pre> export QWS_DISPLAY=<gfx driver><:driver specific options><:display number></pre>
<p>The default value is an unaccelerated Linux framebuffer driver: <tt>/dev/fb0</tt>. Valid drivers are <tt>QVfb</tt>, <tt>LinuxFb</tt> (unaccelerated Linux framebuffer), <tt>Transformed</tt> (for rotated displays), and <tt>VNC</tt> (when running Qtopia Core as a VNC server).</p>
<p>Transformed displays have a special format: the specification should include a rotation as a multiple of 90 degrees given as <tt>rot<x></tt>, for instance <tt>transformed:rot90</tt>.</p>

</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="odd"><td><b>QWS_SIZE</b> <a name="qws-size"></a></td><td>Specifies the size of Qtopia Core's window which is centered within the screen. For example, if the current shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh:<pre> export QWS_SIZE=<width>x<height></pre>
</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="even"><td><b>QWS_MOUSE_PROTO</b> <a name="qws-mouse-proto"></a></td><td>Specifies the driver and device for pointer handling. For example, if the current shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh:<pre> export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=<driver>:<device></pre>
<p>The available drivers are <tt>MouseMan</tt>, <tt>IntelliMouse</tt>, <tt>Microsoft</tt>, <tt>VR41xx</tt>, <tt>LinuxTP</tt> or <tt>Tslib</tt>, and the device is typically <tt>/dev/mouse</tt>, or <tt>/dev/ts</tt> for touch panels. Note that specifying the device is optional.</p>
<p>The default value is <tt>Auto</tt> which enables auto-detection of the mouse device if the "pc" mouse driver is enabled. Note that Qtopia Core does not support auto-detection of touch panels in which case the driver must be specified explicitly to determine which device to use.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qtopiacore-pointer.html">Pointer Handling</a>.</p>
</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="odd"><td><b>QWS_KEYBOARD</b> <a name="qws-keyboard"></a></td><td>Specifies the driver and device for character input. For example, if the current shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh:<pre> export QWS_KEYBOARD=<driver>:<device></pre>
<p>The available drivers are <tt>SL5000</tt>, <tt>Yopy</tt>, <tt>VR41xx</tt>, <tt>TTY</tt> or <tt>USB</tt>, and the device is typically <tt>/dev/tty0</tt>. Note that specifying the device is optional.</p>
<p>Multiple keyboard drivers can be specified in one go:</p>
<pre> export QWS_KEYBOARD=<driver> <driver> <driver>:<device></pre>
<p>Input will be read from all of specified drivers.</p>
