317The X display to use.
318.TP
319.B --screen \fISCREEN\fR
320The screen number to use.
321.\" If know enough to use it you know enough to find it
322.\" .TP
323.\" .B --sync
324.\" Make all X requests synchronously.
325.SH CONFIGURATION
326If you are using
327.B disobedience
328on the same host as the server then no additional configuration should be
329required.
330.PP
331If it is running on a different host then the easiest way to set it up is to
332use the login details window in Disobedience.
333Enter the connection details, use Login to connect to the server, and then
334use Save to store them for future sessions.
335.PP
336The other clients read their configuration from the same location so after
337setting up with Disobedience, tools such as
338.BR disorder (1)
339should work as well.
340.SH BUGS
341Disobedience is newly introduced with DisOrder 2.0.
342There are bound to be bugs.
343Please send feedback.
344.PP
345There is no particular provision for multiple users of the same computer
346sharing a single \fBdisorder-playrtp\fR process.
347This shouldn't be too much of a problem in practice but something could
348perhaps be done given demand.
349.SH FILES
350.TP
351.I ~/.disorder/HOSTNAME-rtp
352Socket for communication with RTP player.
353.TP
354.I ~/.disorder/HOSTNAME-rtp.log
355Log file for RTP player.
