-.TH XSERVER 1 __xorgversion__
-.SH NAME
-Xserver \- X Window System display server
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B X
-[option ...]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I X
-is the generic name for the X Window System display server. It is
-frequently a link or a copy of the appropriate server binary for
-driving the most frequently used server on a given machine.
-.SH "STARTING THE SERVER"
-The X server is usually started from the X Display Manager program
-\fIxdm\fP(1) or a similar display manager program.
-This utility is run from the system boot files and takes care of keeping
-the server running, prompting for usernames and passwords, and starting up
-the user sessions.
-.PP
-Installations that run more than one window system may need to use the
-\fIxinit\fP(1) utility instead of a display manager. However, \fIxinit\fP is
-to be considered a tool for building startup scripts and is not
-intended for use by end users. Site administrators are \fBstrongly\fP
-urged to use a display manager, or build other interfaces for novice users.
-.PP
-The X server may also be started directly by the user, though this
-method is usually reserved for testing and is not recommended for
-normal operation. On some platforms, the user must have special
-permission to start the X server, often because access to certain
-devices (e.g. \fI/dev/mouse\fP) is restricted.
-.PP
-When the X server starts up, it typically takes over the display. If
-you are running on a workstation whose console is the display, you may
-not be able to log into the console while the server is running.
-.SH OPTIONS
-Many X servers have device-specific command line options. See the manual
-pages for the individual servers for more details; a list of
-server-specific manual pages is provided in the SEE ALSO section below.
-.PP
-All of the X servers accept the command line options described below.
-Some X servers may have alternative ways of providing the parameters
-described here, but the values provided via the command line options
-should override values specified via other mechanisms.
-.TP 8
-.B :\fIdisplaynumber\fP
-The X server runs as the given \fIdisplaynumber\fP, which by default is 0.
-If multiple X servers are to run simultaneously on a host, each must have
-a unique display number. See the DISPLAY
-NAMES section of the \fIX\fP(__miscmansuffix__) manual page to learn how to
-specify which display number clients should try to use.
-.TP 8
-.B \-a \fInumber\fP
-sets pointer acceleration (i.e. the ratio of how much is reported to how much
-the user actually moved the pointer).
-.TP 8
-.B \-ac
-disables host-based access control mechanisms. Enables access by any host,
-and permits any host to modify the access control list.
-Use with extreme caution.
-This option exists primarily for running test suites remotely.
-.TP 8
-.B \-audit \fIlevel\fP
-sets the audit trail level. The default level is 1, meaning only connection
-rejections are reported. Level 2 additionally reports all successful
-connections and disconnects. Level 4 enables messages from the
-SECURITY extension, if present, including generation and revocation of
-authorizations and violations of the security policy.
-Level 0 turns off the audit trail.
-Audit lines are sent as standard error output.
-.TP 8
-.B \-auth \fIauthorization-file\fP
-specifies a file which contains a collection of authorization records used
-to authenticate access. See also the \fIxdm\fP(1) and
-\fIXsecurity\fP(__miscmansuffix__) manual pages.
-.TP 8
-.B \-bs
-disables backing store support on all screens.
-.TP 8
-.B \-br
-sets the default root window to solid black instead of the standard root weave
-pattern.
-.TP 8
-.B \-c
-turns off key-click.
-.TP 8
-.B c \fIvolume\fP
-sets key-click volume (allowable range: 0-100).
-.TP 8
-.B \-cc \fIclass\fP
-sets the visual class for the root window of color screens.
-The class numbers are as specified in the X protocol.
-Not obeyed by all servers.
-.ig
-.TP 8
-.B \-config \fIfilename\fP
-reads more options from the given file. Options in the file may be separated
-by newlines if desired. If a '#' character appears on a line, all characters
-between it and the next newline are ignored, providing a simple commenting
-facility. The \fB\-config\fP option itself may appear in the file.
-.BR NOTE :
-This option is disabled when the Xserver is run with an effective uid
-different from the user's real uid.
-..
-.TP 8
-.B \-core
-causes the server to generate a core dump on fatal errors.
-.TP 8
-.B \-deferglyphs \fIwhichfonts\fP
-specifies the types of fonts for which the server should attempt to use
-deferred glyph loading. \fIwhichfonts\fP can be all (all fonts),
-none (no fonts), or 16 (16 bit fonts only).
-.TP 8
-.B \-dpi \fIresolution\fP
-sets the resolution for all screens, in dots per inch.
-To be used when the server cannot determine the screen size(s) from the
-hardware.
-.TP 8
-.B dpms
-enables DPMS (display power management services), where supported. The
-default state is platform and configuration specific.
-.TP 8
-.B \-dpms
-disables DPMS (display power management services). The default state
-is platform and configuration specific.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-extension extensionName
-disables named extension. If an unknown extension name is specified,
-a list of accepted extension names is printed.
-.TP 8
-.BI \+extension extensionName
-enables named extension. If an unknown extension name is specified,
-a list of accepted extension names is printed.
-.TP 8
-.B \-f \fIvolume\fP
-sets feep (bell) volume (allowable range: 0-100).
-.TP 8
-.B \-fc \fIcursorFont\fP
-sets default cursor font.
-.TP 8
-.B \-fn \fIfont\fP
-sets the default font.
-.TP 8
-.B \-fp \fIfontPath\fP
-sets the search path for fonts. This path is a comma separated list
-of directories which the X server searches for font databases.
-See the FONTS section of this manual page for more information and the default
-list.
-.TP 8
-.B \-help
-prints a usage message.
-.TP 8
-.B \-I
-causes all remaining command line arguments to be ignored.
-.TP 8
-.B \-maxbigreqsize \fIsize\fP
-sets the maximum big request to
-.I size
-MB.
-.TP 8
-.B \-nolisten \fItrans-type\fP
-disables a transport type. For example, TCP/IP connections can be disabled
-with
-.BR "\-nolisten tcp" .
-This option may be issued multiple times to disable listening to different
-transport types.
-.TP 8
-.B \-noreset
-prevents a server reset when the last client connection is closed. This
-overrides a previous
-.B \-terminate
-command line option.
-.TP 8
-.B \-p \fIminutes\fP
-sets screen-saver pattern cycle time in minutes.
-.TP 8
-.B \-pn
-permits the server to continue running if it fails to establish all of
-its well-known sockets (connection points for clients), but
-establishes at least one. This option is set by default.
-.TP 8
-.B \-nopn
-causes the server to exit if it fails to establish all of its well-known
-sockets (connection points for clients).
-.TP 8
-.B \-r
-turns off auto-repeat.
-.TP 8
-.B r
-turns on auto-repeat.
-.TP 8
-.B -retro
-starts the stipple with the classic stipple and cursor visible. The default
-is to start with a black root window, and to suppress display of the cursor
-until the first time an application calls XDefineCursor(). For the Xorg
-server, this also sets the default for the DontZap option to FALSE. For
-kdrive servers, this implies -zap.
-.TP 8
-.B \-s \fIminutes\fP
-sets screen-saver timeout time in minutes.
-.TP 8
-.B \-su
-disables save under support on all screens.
-.TP 8
-.B \-t \fInumber\fP
-sets pointer acceleration threshold in pixels (i.e. after how many pixels
-pointer acceleration should take effect).
-.TP 8
-.B \-terminate
-causes the server to terminate at server reset, instead of continuing to run.
-This overrides a previous
-.B \-noreset
-command line option.
-.TP 8
-.B \-to \fIseconds\fP
-sets default connection timeout in seconds.
-.TP 8
-.B \-tst
-disables all testing extensions (e.g., XTEST, XTrap, XTestExtension1, RECORD).
-.TP 8
-.B tty\fIxx\fP
-ignored, for servers started the ancient way (from init).
-.TP 8
-.B v
-sets video-off screen-saver preference.
-.TP 8
-.B \-v
-sets video-on screen-saver preference.
-.TP 8
-.B \-wm
-forces the default backing-store of all windows to be WhenMapped. This
-is a backdoor way of getting backing-store to apply to all windows.
-Although all mapped windows will have backing store, the backing store
-attribute value reported by the server for a window will be the last
-value established by a client. If it has never been set by a client,
-the server will report the default value, NotUseful. This behavior is
-required by the X protocol, which allows the server to exceed the
-client's backing store expectations but does not provide a way to tell
-the client that it is doing so.
-.TP 8
-.B \-wr
-sets the default root window to solid white instead of the standard root weave
-pattern.
-.TP 8
-.B \-x \fIextension\fP
-loads the specified extension at init.
-This is a no-op for most implementations.
-.TP 8
-.B [+-]xinerama
-enables(+) or disables(-) the XINERAMA extension. The default state is
-platform and configuration specific.
-.SH SERVER DEPENDENT OPTIONS
-Some X servers accept the following options:
-.TP 8
-.B \-ld \fIkilobytes\fP
-sets the data space limit of the server to the specified number of kilobytes.
-A value of zero makes the data size as large as possible. The default value
-of \-1 leaves the data space limit unchanged.
-.TP 8
-.B \-lf \fIfiles\fP
-sets the number-of-open-files limit of the server to the specified number.
-A value of zero makes the limit as large as possible. The default value
-of \-1 leaves the limit unchanged.
-.TP 8
-.B \-ls \fIkilobytes\fP
-sets the stack space limit of the server to the specified number of kilobytes.
-A value of zero makes the stack size as large as possible. The default value
-of \-1 leaves the stack space limit unchanged.
-.TP 8
-.B \-logo
-turns on the X Window System logo display in the screen-saver.
-There is currently no way to change this from a client.
-.TP 8
-.B nologo
-turns off the X Window System logo display in the screen-saver.
-There is currently no way to change this from a client.
-.TP 8
-.B \-render
-.BR default | mono | gray | color
-sets the color allocation policy that will be used by the render extension.
-.RS 8
-.TP 8
-.I default
-selects the default policy defined for the display depth of the X
-server.
-.TP 8
-.I mono
-don't use any color cell.
-.TP 8
-.I gray
-use a gray map of 13 color cells for the X render extension.
-.TP 8
-.I color
-use a color cube of at most 4*4*4 colors (that is 64 color cells).
-.RE
-.TP 8
-.B \-dumbSched
-disables smart scheduling on platforms that support the smart scheduler.
-.TP
-.B \-schedInterval \fIinterval\fP
-sets the smart scheduler's scheduling interval to
-.I interval
-milliseconds.
-.SH XDMCP OPTIONS
-X servers that support XDMCP have the following options.
-See the \fIX Display Manager Control Protocol\fP specification for more
-information.
-.TP 8
-.B \-query \fIhostname\fP
-enables XDMCP and sends Query packets to the specified
-.IR hostname .
-.TP 8
-.B \-broadcast
-enable XDMCP and broadcasts BroadcastQuery packets to the network. The
-first responding display manager will be chosen for the session.
-.TP 8
-.B \-multicast [\fIaddress\fP [\fIhop count\fP]]
-Enable XDMCP and multicast BroadcastQuery packets to the network.
-The first responding display manager is chosen for the session. If an
-address is specified, the multicast is sent to that address. If no
-address is specified, the multicast is sent to the default XDMCP IPv6
-multicast group. If a hop count is specified, it is used as the maximum
-hop count for the multicast. If no hop count is specified, the multicast
-is set to a maximum of 1 hop, to prevent the multicast from being routed
-beyond the local network.
-.TP 8
-.B \-indirect \fIhostname\fP
-enables XDMCP and send IndirectQuery packets to the specified
-.IR hostname .
-.TP 8
-.B \-port \fIport-number\fP
-uses the specified \fIport-number\fP for XDMCP packets, instead of the
-default. This option must be specified before any \-query, \-broadcast,
-\-multicast, or \-indirect options.
-.TP 8
-.B \-from \fIlocal-address\fP
-specifies the local address to connect from (useful if the connecting host
-has multiple network interfaces). The \fIlocal-address\fP may be expressed
-in any form acceptable to the host platform's \fIgethostbyname\fP(3)
-implementation.
-.TP 8
-.B \-once
-causes the server to terminate (rather than reset) when the XDMCP session
-ends.
-.TP 8
-.B \-class \fIdisplay-class\fP
-XDMCP has an additional display qualifier used in resource lookup for
-display-specific options. This option sets that value, by default it
-is "MIT-Unspecified" (not a very useful value).
-.TP 8
-.B \-cookie \fIxdm-auth-bits\fP
-When testing XDM-AUTHENTICATION-1, a private key is shared between the
-server and the manager. This option sets the value of that private
-data (not that it is very private, being on the command line!).
-.TP 8
-.B \-displayID \fIdisplay-id\fP
-Yet another XDMCP specific value, this one allows the display manager to
-identify each display so that it can locate the shared key.
-.SH XKEYBOARD OPTIONS
-X servers that support the XKEYBOARD (a.k.a. \*qXKB\*q) extension accept the
-following options. All layout files specified on the command line must be
-located in the XKB base directory or a subdirectory, and specified as the
-relative path from the XKB base directory. The default XKB base directory is
-.IR __projectroot__/lib/X11/xkb .
-.TP 8
-.BR [+-]accessx " [ \fItimeout\fP [ \fItimeout_mask\fP [ \fIfeedback\fP [ \fIoptions_mask\fP ] ] ] ]"
-enables(+) or disables(-) AccessX key sequences.
-.TP 8
-.B \-xkbdir \fIdirectory\fP
-base directory for keyboard layout files. This option is not available
-for setuid X servers (i.e., when the X server's real and effective uids
-are different).
-.TP 8
-.B \-ardelay \fImilliseconds\fP
-sets the autorepeat delay (length of time in milliseconds that a key must
-be depressed before autorepeat starts).
-.TP 8
-.B \-arinterval \fImilliseconds\fP
-sets the autorepeat interval (length of time in milliseconds that should
-elapse between autorepeat-generated keystrokes).
-.TP 8
-.B \-xkbmap \fIfilename\fP
-loads keyboard description in \fIfilename\fP on server startup.
-.SH "NETWORK CONNECTIONS"
-The X server supports client connections via a platform-dependent subset of
-the following transport types: TCP\/IP, Unix Domain sockets, DECnet,
-and several varieties of SVR4 local connections. See the DISPLAY
-NAMES section of the \fIX\fP(__miscmansuffix__) manual page to learn how to
-specify which transport type clients should try to use.
-.SH GRANTING ACCESS
-The X server implements a platform-dependent subset of the following
-authorization protocols: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1, XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1,
-XDM-AUTHORIZATION-2, SUN-DES-1, and MIT-KERBEROS-5. See the
-\fIXsecurity\fP(__miscmansuffix__) manual page for information on the
-operation of these protocols.
-.PP
-Authorization data required by the above protocols is passed to the
-server in a private file named with the \fB\-auth\fP command line
-option. Each time the server is about to accept the first connection
-after a reset (or when the server is starting), it reads this file.
-If this file contains any authorization records, the local host is not
-automatically allowed access to the server, and only clients which
-send one of the authorization records contained in the file in the
-connection setup information will be allowed access. See the
-\fIXau\fP manual page for a description of the binary format of this
-file. See \fIxauth\fP(1) for maintenance of this file, and distribution
-of its contents to remote hosts.
-.PP
-The X server also uses a host-based access control list for deciding
-whether or not to accept connections from clients on a particular machine.
-If no other authorization mechanism is being used,
-this list initially consists of the host on which the server is running as
-well as any machines listed in the file \fI/etc/X\fBn\fI.hosts\fR, where
-\fBn\fP is the display number of the server. Each line of the file should
-contain either an Internet hostname (e.g. expo.lcs.mit.edu) or a DECnet
-hostname in double colon format (e.g. hydra::) or a complete name in the format
-\fIfamily\fP:\fIname\fP as described in the \fIxhost\fP(1) manual page.
-There should be no leading or trailing spaces on any lines. For example:
-.sp
-.in +8
-.nf
-joesworkstation
-corporate.company.com
-star::
-inet:bigcpu
-local:
-.fi
-.in -8
-.PP
-Users can add or remove hosts from this list and enable or disable access
-control using the \fIxhost\fP command from the same machine as the server.
-.PP
-If the X FireWall Proxy (\fIxfwp\fP) is being used without a sitepolicy,
-host-based authorization must be turned on for clients to be able to
-connect to the X server via the \fIxfwp\fP. If \fIxfwp\fP is run without
-a configuration file and thus no sitepolicy is defined, if \fIxfwp\fP
-is using an X server where xhost + has been run to turn off host-based
-authorization checks, when a client tries to connect to this X server
-via \fIxfwp\fP, the X server will deny the connection. See \fIxfwp\fP(1)
-for more information about this proxy.
-.PP
-The X protocol intrinsically does not have any notion of window operation
-permissions or place any restrictions on what a client can do; if a program can
-connect to a display, it has full run of the screen.
-X servers that support the SECURITY extension fare better because clients
-can be designated untrusted via the authorization they use to connect; see
-the \fIxauth\fP(1) manual page for details. Restrictions are imposed
-on untrusted clients that curtail the mischief they can do. See the SECURITY
-extension specification for a complete list of these restrictions.
-.PP
-Sites that have better
-authentication and authorization systems might wish to make
-use of the hooks in the libraries and the server to provide additional
-security models.
-.SH SIGNALS
-The X server attaches special meaning to the following signals:
-.TP 8
-.I SIGHUP
-This signal causes the server to close all existing connections, free all
-resources, and restore all defaults. It is sent by the display manager
-whenever the main user's main application (usually an \fIxterm\fP or window
-manager) exits to force the server to clean up and prepare for the next
-user.
-.TP 8
-.I SIGTERM
-This signal causes the server to exit cleanly.
-.TP 8
-.I SIGUSR1
-This signal is used quite differently from either of the above. When the
-server starts, it checks to see if it has inherited SIGUSR1 as SIG_IGN
-instead of the usual SIG_DFL. In this case, the server sends a SIGUSR1 to
-its parent process after it has set up the various connection schemes.
-\fIXdm\fP uses this feature to recognize when connecting to the server
-is possible.
-.SH FONTS
-The X server can obtain fonts from directories and/or from font servers.
-The list of directories and font servers
-the X server uses when trying to open a font is controlled
-by the \fIfont path\fP.
-.LP
-The default font path is
-__default_font_path__ .
-.LP
-A special kind of directory can be specified using the \fBcatalogue\fP:
-prefix. Directories specified this way can contain symlinks pointing to the
-real font directories. See the FONTPATH.D section for details.
-.LP
-The font path can be set with the \fB\-fp\fP option or by \fIxset\fP(1)
-after the server has started.
-.SH "FONTPATH.D"
-You can specify a special kind of font path in the form \fBcatalogue:<dir>\fR.
-The directory specified after the catalogue: prefix will be scanned for symlinks
-and each symlink destination will be added as a local fontfile FPE.
-.PP
-The symlink can be suffixed by attributes such as '\fBunscaled\fR', which
-will be passed through to the underlying fontfile FPE. The only exception is
-the newly introduced '\fBpri\fR' attribute, which will be used for ordering
-the font paths specified by the symlinks.
-
-An example configuration:
-
-.nf
- 75dpi:unscaled:pri=20 \-> /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi
- ghostscript:pri=60 \-> /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript
- misc:unscaled:pri=10 \-> /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc
- type1:pri=40 \-> /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1
- type1:pri=50 \-> /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1
-.fi
-
-This will add /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc as the first FPE with the attribute
-'unscaled', second FPE will be /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi, also with
-the attribute unscaled etc. This is functionally equivalent to setting
-the following font path:
-
-.nf
- /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
- /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
- /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1,
- /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1,
- /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript
-.fi
-
-.SH FILES

+.SH NAME
+Xserver \- X Window System display server
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B X
+[option ...]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I X
+is the generic name for the X Window System display server. It is
+frequently a link or a copy of the appropriate server binary for
+driving the most frequently used server on a given machine.
+.SH "STARTING THE SERVER"
+The X server is usually started from the X Display Manager program
+\fIxdm\fP(1) or a similar display manager program.
+This utility is run from the system boot files and takes care of keeping
+the server running, prompting for usernames and passwords, and starting up
+the user sessions.
+.PP
+Installations that run more than one window system may need to use the
+\fIxinit\fP(1) utility instead of a display manager. However, \fIxinit\fP is
+to be considered a tool for building startup scripts and is not
+intended for use by end users. Site administrators are \fBstrongly\fP
+urged to use a display manager, or build other interfaces for novice users.
+.PP
+The X server may also be started directly by the user, though this
+method is usually reserved for testing and is not recommended for
+normal operation. On some platforms, the user must have special
+permission to start the X server, often because access to certain
+devices (e.g. \fI/dev/mouse\fP) is restricted.
+.PP
+When the X server starts up, it typically takes over the display. If
+you are running on a workstation whose console is the display, you may
+not be able to log into the console while the server is running.
+.SH OPTIONS
+Many X servers have device-specific command line options. See the manual
+pages for the individual servers for more details; a list of
+server-specific manual pages is provided in the SEE ALSO section below.
+.PP
+All of the X servers accept the command line options described below.
+Some X servers may have alternative ways of providing the parameters
+described here, but the values provided via the command line options
+should override values specified via other mechanisms.
+.TP 8
+.B :\fIdisplaynumber\fP
+The X server runs as the given \fIdisplaynumber\fP, which by default is 0.
+If multiple X servers are to run simultaneously on a host, each must have
+a unique display number. See the DISPLAY
+NAMES section of the \fIX\fP(__miscmansuffix__) manual page to learn how to
+specify which display number clients should try to use.
+.TP 8
+.B \-a \fInumber\fP
+sets pointer acceleration (i.e. the ratio of how much is reported to how much
+the user actually moved the pointer).
+.TP 8
+.B \-ac
+disables host-based access control mechanisms. Enables access by any host,
+and permits any host to modify the access control list.
+Use with extreme caution.
+This option exists primarily for running test suites remotely.
+.TP 8
+.B \-audit \fIlevel\fP
+sets the audit trail level. The default level is 1, meaning only connection
+rejections are reported. Level 2 additionally reports all successful
+connections and disconnects. Level 4 enables messages from the
+SECURITY extension, if present, including generation and revocation of
+authorizations and violations of the security policy.
+Level 0 turns off the audit trail.
+Audit lines are sent as standard error output.
+.TP 8
+.B \-auth \fIauthorization-file\fP
+specifies a file which contains a collection of authorization records used
+to authenticate access. See also the \fIxdm\fP(1) and
+\fIXsecurity\fP(__miscmansuffix__) manual pages.
+.TP 8
+.B \-bs
+disables backing store support on all screens.
+.TP 8
+.B \-br
+sets the default root window to solid black instead of the standard root weave
+pattern.
+.TP 8
+.B \-c
+turns off key-click.
+.TP 8
+.B c \fIvolume\fP
+sets key-click volume (allowable range: 0-100).
+.TP 8
+.B \-cc \fIclass\fP
+sets the visual class for the root window of color screens.
+The class numbers are as specified in the X protocol.
+Not obeyed by all servers.
+.ig
+.TP 8
+.B \-config \fIfilename\fP
+reads more options from the given file. Options in the file may be separated
+by newlines if desired. If a '#' character appears on a line, all characters
+between it and the next newline are ignored, providing a simple commenting
+facility. The \fB\-config\fP option itself may appear in the file.
+.BR NOTE :
+This option is disabled when the Xserver is run with an effective uid
+different from the user's real uid.
+..
+.TP 8
+.B \-core
+causes the server to generate a core dump on fatal errors.
+.TP 8
+.B \-deferglyphs \fIwhichfonts\fP
+specifies the types of fonts for which the server should attempt to use
+deferred glyph loading. \fIwhichfonts\fP can be all (all fonts),
+none (no fonts), or 16 (16 bit fonts only).
+.TP 8
+.B \-dpi \fIresolution\fP
+sets the resolution for all screens, in dots per inch.
+To be used when the server cannot determine the screen size(s) from the
+hardware.
+.TP 8
+.B dpms
+enables DPMS (display power management services), where supported. The
+default state is platform and configuration specific.
+.TP 8
+.B \-dpms
+disables DPMS (display power management services). The default state
+is platform and configuration specific.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-extension extensionName
+disables named extension. If an unknown extension name is specified,
+a list of accepted extension names is printed.
+.TP 8
+.BI \+extension extensionName
+enables named extension. If an unknown extension name is specified,
+a list of accepted extension names is printed.
+.TP 8
+.B \-f \fIvolume\fP
+sets feep (bell) volume (allowable range: 0-100).
+.TP 8
+.B \-fc \fIcursorFont\fP
+sets default cursor font.
+.TP 8
+.B \-fn \fIfont\fP
+sets the default font.
+.TP 8
+.B \-fp \fIfontPath\fP
+sets the search path for fonts. This path is a comma separated list
+of directories which the X server searches for font databases.
+See the FONTS section of this manual page for more information and the default
+list.
+.TP 8
+.B \-help
+prints a usage message.
+.TP 8
+.B \-I
+causes all remaining command line arguments to be ignored.
+.TP 8
+.B \-maxbigreqsize \fIsize\fP
+sets the maximum big request to
+.I size
+MB.
+.TP 8
+.B \-nolisten \fItrans-type\fP
+disables a transport type. For example, TCP/IP connections can be disabled
+with
+.BR "\-nolisten tcp" .
+This option may be issued multiple times to disable listening to different
+transport types.
+.TP 8
+.B \-noreset
+prevents a server reset when the last client connection is closed. This
+overrides a previous
+.B \-terminate
+command line option.
+.TP 8
+.B \-p \fIminutes\fP
+sets screen-saver pattern cycle time in minutes.
+.TP 8
+.B \-pn
+permits the server to continue running if it fails to establish all of
+its well-known sockets (connection points for clients), but
+establishes at least one. This option is set by default.
+.TP 8
+.B \-nopn
+causes the server to exit if it fails to establish all of its well-known
+sockets (connection points for clients).
+.TP 8
+.B \-r
+turns off auto-repeat.
+.TP 8
+.B r
+turns on auto-repeat.
+.TP 8
+.B -retro
+starts the stipple with the classic stipple and cursor visible. The default
+is to start with a black root window, and to suppress display of the cursor
+until the first time an application calls XDefineCursor(). For the Xorg
+server, this also sets the default for the DontZap option to FALSE. For
+kdrive servers, this implies -zap.
+.TP 8
+.B \-s \fIminutes\fP
+sets screen-saver timeout time in minutes.
+.TP 8
+.B \-su
+disables save under support on all screens.
+.TP 8
+.B \-t \fInumber\fP
+sets pointer acceleration threshold in pixels (i.e. after how many pixels
+pointer acceleration should take effect).
+.TP 8
+.B \-terminate
+causes the server to terminate at server reset, instead of continuing to run.
+This overrides a previous
+.B \-noreset
+command line option.
+.TP 8
+.B \-to \fIseconds\fP
+sets default connection timeout in seconds.
+.TP 8
+.B \-tst
+disables all testing extensions (e.g., XTEST, XTrap, XTestExtension1, RECORD).
+.TP 8
+.B tty\fIxx\fP
+ignored, for servers started the ancient way (from init).
+.TP 8
+.B v
+sets video-off screen-saver preference.
+.TP 8
+.B \-v
+sets video-on screen-saver preference.
+.TP 8
+.B \-wm
+forces the default backing-store of all windows to be WhenMapped. This
+is a backdoor way of getting backing-store to apply to all windows.
+Although all mapped windows will have backing store, the backing store
+attribute value reported by the server for a window will be the last
+value established by a client. If it has never been set by a client,
+the server will report the default value, NotUseful. This behavior is
+required by the X protocol, which allows the server to exceed the
+client's backing store expectations but does not provide a way to tell
+the client that it is doing so.
+.TP 8
+.B \-wr
+sets the default root window to solid white instead of the standard root weave
+pattern.
+.TP 8
+.B \-x \fIextension\fP
+loads the specified extension at init.
+This is a no-op for most implementations.
+.TP 8
+.B [+-]xinerama
+enables(+) or disables(-) the XINERAMA extension. The default state is
+platform and configuration specific.
+.SH SERVER DEPENDENT OPTIONS
+Some X servers accept the following options:
+.TP 8
+.B \-ld \fIkilobytes\fP
+sets the data space limit of the server to the specified number of kilobytes.
+A value of zero makes the data size as large as possible. The default value
+of \-1 leaves the data space limit unchanged.
+.TP 8
+.B \-lf \fIfiles\fP
+sets the number-of-open-files limit of the server to the specified number.
+A value of zero makes the limit as large as possible. The default value
+of \-1 leaves the limit unchanged.
+.TP 8
+.B \-ls \fIkilobytes\fP
+sets the stack space limit of the server to the specified number of kilobytes.
+A value of zero makes the stack size as large as possible. The default value
+of \-1 leaves the stack space limit unchanged.
+.TP 8
+.B \-logo
+turns on the X Window System logo display in the screen-saver.
+There is currently no way to change this from a client.
+.TP 8
+.B nologo
+turns off the X Window System logo display in the screen-saver.
+There is currently no way to change this from a client.
+.TP 8
+.B \-render
+.BR default | mono | gray | color
+sets the color allocation policy that will be used by the render extension.
+.RS 8
+.TP 8
+.I default
+selects the default policy defined for the display depth of the X
+server.
+.TP 8
+.I mono
+don't use any color cell.
+.TP 8
+.I gray
+use a gray map of 13 color cells for the X render extension.
+.TP 8
+.I color
+use a color cube of at most 4*4*4 colors (that is 64 color cells).
+.RE
+.TP 8
+.B \-dumbSched
+disables smart scheduling on platforms that support the smart scheduler.
+.TP
+.B \-schedInterval \fIinterval\fP
+sets the smart scheduler's scheduling interval to
+.I interval
+milliseconds.
+.SH XDMCP OPTIONS
+X servers that support XDMCP have the following options.
+See the \fIX Display Manager Control Protocol\fP specification for more
+information.
+.TP 8
+.B \-query \fIhostname\fP
+enables XDMCP and sends Query packets to the specified
+.IR hostname .
+.TP 8
+.B \-broadcast
+enable XDMCP and broadcasts BroadcastQuery packets to the network. The
+first responding display manager will be chosen for the session.
+.TP 8
+.B \-multicast [\fIaddress\fP [\fIhop count\fP]]
+Enable XDMCP and multicast BroadcastQuery packets to the network.
+The first responding display manager is chosen for the session. If an
+address is specified, the multicast is sent to that address. If no
+address is specified, the multicast is sent to the default XDMCP IPv6
+multicast group. If a hop count is specified, it is used as the maximum
+hop count for the multicast. If no hop count is specified, the multicast
+is set to a maximum of 1 hop, to prevent the multicast from being routed
+beyond the local network.
+.TP 8
+.B \-indirect \fIhostname\fP
+enables XDMCP and send IndirectQuery packets to the specified
+.IR hostname .
+.TP 8
+.B \-port \fIport-number\fP
+uses the specified \fIport-number\fP for XDMCP packets, instead of the
+default. This option must be specified before any \-query, \-broadcast,
+\-multicast, or \-indirect options.
+.TP 8
+.B \-from \fIlocal-address\fP
+specifies the local address to connect from (useful if the connecting host
+has multiple network interfaces). The \fIlocal-address\fP may be expressed
+in any form acceptable to the host platform's \fIgethostbyname\fP(3)
+implementation.
+.TP 8
+.B \-once
+causes the server to terminate (rather than reset) when the XDMCP session
+ends.
+.TP 8
+.B \-class \fIdisplay-class\fP
+XDMCP has an additional display qualifier used in resource lookup for
+display-specific options. This option sets that value, by default it
+is "MIT-Unspecified" (not a very useful value).
+.TP 8
+.B \-cookie \fIxdm-auth-bits\fP
+When testing XDM-AUTHENTICATION-1, a private key is shared between the
+server and the manager. This option sets the value of that private
+data (not that it is very private, being on the command line!).
+.TP 8
+.B \-displayID \fIdisplay-id\fP
+Yet another XDMCP specific value, this one allows the display manager to
+identify each display so that it can locate the shared key.
+.SH XKEYBOARD OPTIONS
+X servers that support the XKEYBOARD (a.k.a. \*qXKB\*q) extension accept the
+following options. All layout files specified on the command line must be
+located in the XKB base directory or a subdirectory, and specified as the
+relative path from the XKB base directory. The default XKB base directory is
+.IR __projectroot__/lib/X11/xkb .
+.TP 8
+.BR [+-]accessx " [ \fItimeout\fP [ \fItimeout_mask\fP [ \fIfeedback\fP [ \fIoptions_mask\fP ] ] ] ]"
+enables(+) or disables(-) AccessX key sequences.
+.TP 8
+.B \-xkbdir \fIdirectory\fP
+base directory for keyboard layout files. This option is not available
+for setuid X servers (i.e., when the X server's real and effective uids
+are different).
+.TP 8
+.B \-ardelay \fImilliseconds\fP
+sets the autorepeat delay (length of time in milliseconds that a key must
+be depressed before autorepeat starts).
+.TP 8
+.B \-arinterval \fImilliseconds\fP
+sets the autorepeat interval (length of time in milliseconds that should
+elapse between autorepeat-generated keystrokes).
+.TP 8
+.B \-xkbmap \fIfilename\fP
+loads keyboard description in \fIfilename\fP on server startup.
+.SH "NETWORK CONNECTIONS"
+The X server supports client connections via a platform-dependent subset of
+the following transport types: TCP\/IP, Unix Domain sockets, DECnet,
+and several varieties of SVR4 local connections. See the DISPLAY
+NAMES section of the \fIX\fP(__miscmansuffix__) manual page to learn how to
+specify which transport type clients should try to use.
+.SH GRANTING ACCESS
+The X server implements a platform-dependent subset of the following
+authorization protocols: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1, XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1,
+XDM-AUTHORIZATION-2, SUN-DES-1, and MIT-KERBEROS-5. See the
+\fIXsecurity\fP(__miscmansuffix__) manual page for information on the
+operation of these protocols.
+.PP
+Authorization data required by the above protocols is passed to the
+server in a private file named with the \fB\-auth\fP command line
+option. Each time the server is about to accept the first connection
+after a reset (or when the server is starting), it reads this file.
+If this file contains any authorization records, the local host is not
+automatically allowed access to the server, and only clients which
+send one of the authorization records contained in the file in the
+connection setup information will be allowed access. See the
+\fIXau\fP manual page for a description of the binary format of this
+file. See \fIxauth\fP(1) for maintenance of this file, and distribution
+of its contents to remote hosts.
+.PP
+The X server also uses a host-based access control list for deciding
+whether or not to accept connections from clients on a particular machine.
+If no other authorization mechanism is being used,
+this list initially consists of the host on which the server is running as
+well as any machines listed in the file \fI/etc/X\fBn\fI.hosts\fR, where
+\fBn\fP is the display number of the server. Each line of the file should
+contain either an Internet hostname (e.g. expo.lcs.mit.edu) or a DECnet
+hostname in double colon format (e.g. hydra::) or a complete name in the format
+\fIfamily\fP:\fIname\fP as described in the \fIxhost\fP(1) manual page.
+There should be no leading or trailing spaces on any lines. For example:
+.sp
+.in +8
+.nf
+joesworkstation
+corporate.company.com
+star::
+inet:bigcpu
+local:
+.fi
+.in -8
+.PP
+Users can add or remove hosts from this list and enable or disable access
+control using the \fIxhost\fP command from the same machine as the server.
+.PP
+If the X FireWall Proxy (\fIxfwp\fP) is being used without a sitepolicy,
+host-based authorization must be turned on for clients to be able to
+connect to the X server via the \fIxfwp\fP. If \fIxfwp\fP is run without
+a configuration file and thus no sitepolicy is defined, if \fIxfwp\fP
+is using an X server where xhost + has been run to turn off host-based
+authorization checks, when a client tries to connect to this X server
+via \fIxfwp\fP, the X server will deny the connection. See \fIxfwp\fP(1)
+for more information about this proxy.
+.PP
+The X protocol intrinsically does not have any notion of window operation
+permissions or place any restrictions on what a client can do; if a program can
+connect to a display, it has full run of the screen.
+X servers that support the SECURITY extension fare better because clients
+can be designated untrusted via the authorization they use to connect; see
+the \fIxauth\fP(1) manual page for details. Restrictions are imposed
+on untrusted clients that curtail the mischief they can do. See the SECURITY
+extension specification for a complete list of these restrictions.
+.PP
+Sites that have better
+authentication and authorization systems might wish to make
+use of the hooks in the libraries and the server to provide additional
+security models.
+.SH SIGNALS
+The X server attaches special meaning to the following signals:
+.TP 8
+.I SIGHUP
+This signal causes the server to close all existing connections, free all
+resources, and restore all defaults. It is sent by the display manager
+whenever the main user's main application (usually an \fIxterm\fP or window
+manager) exits to force the server to clean up and prepare for the next
+user.
+.TP 8
+.I SIGTERM
+This signal causes the server to exit cleanly.
+.TP 8
+.I SIGUSR1
+This signal is used quite differently from either of the above. When the
+server starts, it checks to see if it has inherited SIGUSR1 as SIG_IGN
+instead of the usual SIG_DFL. In this case, the server sends a SIGUSR1 to
+its parent process after it has set up the various connection schemes.
+\fIXdm\fP uses this feature to recognize when connecting to the server
+is possible.
+.SH FONTS
+The X server can obtain fonts from directories and/or from font servers.
+The list of directories and font servers
+the X server uses when trying to open a font is controlled
+by the \fIfont path\fP.
+.LP
+The default font path is
+__default_font_path__ .
+.LP
+A special kind of directory can be specified using the \fBcatalogue\fP:
+prefix. Directories specified this way can contain symlinks pointing to the
+real font directories. See the FONTPATH.D section for details.
+.LP
+The font path can be set with the \fB\-fp\fP option or by \fIxset\fP(1)
+after the server has started.
+.SH "FONTPATH.D"
+You can specify a special kind of font path in the form \fBcatalogue:<dir>\fR.
+The directory specified after the catalogue: prefix will be scanned for symlinks
+and each symlink destination will be added as a local fontfile FPE.
+.PP
+The symlink can be suffixed by attributes such as '\fBunscaled\fR', which
+will be passed through to the underlying fontfile FPE. The only exception is
+the newly introduced '\fBpri\fR' attribute, which will be used for ordering
+the font paths specified by the symlinks.
+
+An example configuration:
+
+.nf
+ 75dpi:unscaled:pri=20 \-> /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi
+ ghostscript:pri=60 \-> /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript
+ misc:unscaled:pri=10 \-> /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc
+ type1:pri=40 \-> /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1
+ type1:pri=50 \-> /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1
+.fi

+This will add /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc as the first FPE with the attribute
+'unscaled', second FPE will be /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi, also with
+the attribute unscaled etc. This is functionally equivalent to setting
+the following font path:
+
+.nf
+ /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
+ /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
+ /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1,
+ /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1,

+The sample server was originally written by Susan Angebranndt, Raymond
+Drewry, Philip Karlton, and Todd Newman, from Digital Equipment
+Corporation, with support from a large cast. It has since been
+extensively rewritten by Keith Packard and Bob Scheifler, from MIT.
+Dave Wiggins took over post-R5 and made substantial improvements.
