- Select module 'Look & Feel' -> 'Window Behavior' -> tab 'Actions'
- The 'Modifier Key's' settings can be changed in the item 'Inner window, titlebar and frame'
- Please set ' Modifier key' to 'Meta'

GNOME:

- Please open GNOME's Control Center
- Go to menu 'Sawfish Windowmanager' and select sub-menu 'Key shortcuts'.
- There is a pull down menu at the bottom called 'Modifier key(s) used for default window manager shortcuts'. Choose a setting different from ALT, Control or Shift.
- If you are using another window manager please look in the control panel for 'window behavior' in order to change the 'Modifier key' settings.

To launch 3DEqualizer´s license server daemon (flcd) at boot time, follow the instructions below:

1. Create a file named "flcd.plist" in the directory "/etc/mach_init.d" with the following XML code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>ServiceName</key>
<string>flcd</string>
<key>Command</key>
<string><3DE installation directory>/bin/flcd</string>
<key>OnDemand</key>
<false/>
</dict>
</plist>

IMPORTANT

The line

"<string><3DE installation directory>/bin/flcd</string>"

specifys the absolute path to the license daemon flcd. For a default installation this line should read:

"<string>/usr/local/3DEqualizerV3/bin/flcd</string>"

3. Finally, please make sure that "flcd.plist" it's owned by root, group wheel, and change the permissions to 644 ("chmod 644 flcd.plist")
