+.SH NAME
+XWin \- X Server for the Cygwin environment on Microsoft Windows
+
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B XWin
+[ options ] ...
+
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I XWin is an X Server for the X Window System on the Cygwin environment
+running on Microsoft Windows.
+
+
+.SH MODES
+\fIXWin\fP can operate in five different and incompatible modes:
+.br
+* \fISingle Window\fP: This is the default option.  The X server
+appears as a single Windows window and all X windows are contained
+within this window.  This mode requires an external window manager.
+.br
+* \fINo Decoration\fP: This mode is like single window mode except
+that the X server window does not have a title bar or border, thus
+maximizing the amount of space available for X windows within the X
+server window.  This mode requires an external window manager.
+.br
+* \fIFull Screen\fP: This mode is like single window mode except that
+the X server window takes the full screen, covering completely the
+Windows desktop.  This mode requires an external window manager.
+.br
+* \fIRootless\fP: The X server works on a window covering the whole
+screen but the root window (traditionally covered with an X hatch
+pattern) is hidden from view.  This mode requires an external window
+manager.
+.br
+* \fIMulti-Window\fP: In this mode \fIXWin\fP uses its own integrated
+window manager in order to handle the top-level X windows, in such a
+way that they appear as normal Windows windows.
+.PP
+NOTE: \fIMulti-Window\fP mode will crash if an external window manager
+such as \fItwm\fP or \fIfvwm\fP is launched since \fIMulti-Window\fP
+uses its own internal window manager; all other modes require an
+external window manager in order to move, resize, and perform other
+operations on the individual X windows.
+
+
+.SH LOG
+As it runs \fIXWin\fP writes messages indicating the most relevant events
+to  the console
+from which it was called and to a log file that by default is located at \fI
+__logdir__/XWin.0.log\fP.  This file is mainly for debugging purposes.
+
+
+.SH PREFERENCES FILE
+On startup \fIXWin\fP looks for the file \fI$HOME/.XWinrc\fP or, if
+the previous file does not exist, \fI
+__sysconfdir__/X11/system.XWinrc\fP.  \fI.XWinrc\fP allows setting
+preferences for the following:
+.br
+1- To include items into the menu associated with the \fIXWin\fP icon
+which is in the \fIWindows\fP system tray.  This functions in all
+modes that have a tray icon.
+.br
+2- To include items in the menu which is associated with the Windows
+window that \fIXWin -multiwindow\fP produces for each top-level X
+window.  That can be done both for the generic case and for particular
+programs.
+.br
+3- To change the icon that is associated to the Windows window that
+\fIXWin -multiwindow\fP produces for each top-level X-window.  Again,
+that can be done both for the generic case and for particular
+programs.
+.PP
+The format of the \fI.XWinrc\fP file is given in the man page XWinrc(5).
+
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+In addition to the normal server options described in the \fIXserver(1)\fP
+manual page, \fIXWin\fP accepts the following command line switches,
+\fIall\fP of which are optional:
+.TP 8
+.B \-clipboard
+Enables the integration
+between the Cygwin/X clipboard and Windows clipboard.  Do not use in
+conjunction with the \fIxwinclip\fP program.
+.TP 8
+.B "\-clipupdates \fInum_boxes\fP"
+Specify an optional threshold, above which the boxes in a shadow
+update operation will be collected into a GDI clipping region.  The
+clipping region is then used to do a single bit block transfer that is
+constrained to the updated area by the clipping region.  There is some
+overhead involved in creating, installing, destroying, and removing
+the clipping region, thus there may not be much benefit for a small
+number of boxes (less than 10).  It is even possible that this
+functionality does not provide a benefit at any number of boxes; we
+can only determine the usefulness of this feature through testing.
+This parameter works in conjunction with engines 1, 2, and 4 (Shadow
+GDI, Shadow DirectDraw, and Shadow DirectDraw Non-Locking,
+respectively).
+.TP 8
+.B "\-emulate3buttons \fItimeout\fP"
+Emulate a three button mouse; pressing both buttons within
+.I timeout
+milliseconds causes an emulated middle button press.  The default
+.I timeout
+is 50 milliseconds.  Note that most mice with scroll wheel have middle
+button functionality, usually you will need this option only if you have
+a two button mouse without scroll wheel.
+.TP 8
+.B \-emulatepseudo
+Create a depth 8 PseudoColor visual when running in depths 15, 16, 24,
+or 32, collectively known as TrueColor depths.
+ At this date (April 2004) this option is not still operative.
+.TP 8
+.B "\-engine \fIengine_type_id\fP"
+This option, which is intended for Cygwin/X developers,
+overrides the server's automatically supported engine type.  This
+parameter will be ignored if the specified engine type is not
+supported on the current system.  The supported engine type ids are 1
+- Shadow GDI, 2 - Shadow DirectDraw, and 4 - Shadow DirectDraw4.
+Additionally, there is a barely functional experimental engine type id
+16 - Native GDI.
+.TP 8
+.B "\-fullscreen [-depth \fIdepth\fP] [-refresh \fIrate_in_Hz\fP]"
+Run the server in fullscreen mode, as opposed to the default windowed
+mode.
+.TP 8
+.B "\-depth \fIdepth\fP"
+Specify the color depth, in bits per pixel, to use when running in
+fullscreen with a DirectDraw engine.  This parameter is ignored if
+\fB\-fullscreen\fP is not specified.
+.TP 8
+.B "\-refresh \fIrate_in_Hz\fP"
+Specify an optional refresh rate to use when running in
+fullscreen with a DirectDraw engine.  This parameter is ignored if
+\fB\-fullscreen\fP is not specified.
+.TP 8
+.B \-help
+Write a help text to the console and to the log file.
+.TP 8
+.B \-ignoreinput
+Ignore keyboard and mouse input.  This is usually only used for testing
+and debugging purposes.
+.TP 8
+.B \-[no]keyhook
+Enable [disable] a low-level keyboard hook for catching
+special key combinations like Alt+Tab and passing them to the X
+Server instead of letting \fIWindows\fP handle them.
+.TP 8
+.B \-lesspointer
+Hide the Windows mouse cursor when the mouse is over any Cygwin/X
+window (regardless of whether that window is active or inactive).  This
+prevents the Windows mouse cursor from being placed overtop of the X
+cursor.
+.TP 8
+.B "\-logfile \fIFile_Name\fP"
+Change the log file from the default located at \fI
+__logdir__/XWin.0.log\fP to the one indicated by \fIFile_Name\fP.
+.TP 8
+.B "\-logverbose \fIlevel\fP"
+Control the degree of verbosity of the log messages with the integer
+parameter \fIlevel\fP.  For \fIlevel\fP=0 only fatal errors are
+reported, for \fIlevel\fP=1 (default) simple information about
+configuration is also given, for \fIlevel\fP=2 a detailed log
+information (including trace and debug output) is produced.  Bigger
+values will yield a still more detailed debug output.  At this date
+(April 2004) the option is still not fully operative; the default
+value is 2 and the output is insensitive to the level value.
+.TP 8
+.B \-multimonitors
+Create a root window that covers all monitors on a system with
+multiple monitors.
+.TP 8
+.B \-multiwindow
+Start the integrated \fIWindowsi\fP-based window manager, which launches each
+top-level X window in its own \fIWindows\fP window.  Not to be used together
+with \fB\-rootless\fP nor \fB\-fullscreen\fP.
+.TP 8
+.B \-nodecoration
+Do not give the Cygwin/X window a Windows window border, title bar,
+etc.  This parameter only applies to windowed mode screens, i.e., this
+parameter is ignored when the \fB\-fullscreen\fP parameter is specified.
+.TP 8
+.B \-nounicodeclipboard
+Do not use Unicode clipboard even if NT-based platform.
+.TP 8
+.B \-rootless
+Run the server in rootless mode.  Not to be used with \fB\-multiwindow\fP
+nor with \fB\-fullscreen\fP.
+.TP 8
+.B "\-screen \fIscreen_number\fP \fIwidth\fP \fIheight\fP"
+This parameter may be used to specify the
+.I screen_number,
+.I height,
+and
+.I width
+of one or several Cygwin/X screens; each Cygwin/X screen will be
+opened in its own window.  When using multiple screens, be sure not to
+duplicate any screen numbers.
+.I XWin
+default behavior is to create a single screen that is roughly
+the size of the current Windows display area.
+Screen specific parameters, such as \fB\-fullscreen\fP, can be applied as a
+default to all screens by placing those screen specific parameters
+before any \fB\-screen\fP parameter.  Screen specific parameters placed after
+the first \fB\-screen\fP parameter will apply only to the immediately
+preceeding \fB\-screen\fP parameter.
+.TP 8
+.B \-scrollbars
+In windowed mode, allow screens bigger than the Windows desktop.
+Moreover, if the window has decorations, one can now resize it.
+.TP 8
+.B \-[no]trayicon
+Do not create a tray icon.  Default is to create one
+icon per screen.  You can globally disable tray icons with
+\fB\-notrayicon\fP, then enable it for specific screens with
+\fB\-trayicon\fP for those screens.
+.TP 8
+.B \-[no]unixkill
+Enable or disable the \fICtrl-Alt-Backspace\fP key combination as a
+signal to exit the X Server.  The \fICtrl-Alt-Backspace\fP key combination
+is disabled by default.
+.TP 8
+.B \-[no]winkill
+Enable or disable the \fIAlt-F4\fP key combination as a signal to exit the
+X Server.
+The \fIAlt-F4\fP key combination is enabled by default.
+.TP 8
+.B \-swcursor
+Disable the usage of the windows cursor and use the X11 software cursor instead.
+.TP 8
+.B \-silent-dup-error
+If another instance of XWin is found running, exit silently and don't display
+the error message.
+.TP 8
+.B "\-xkblayout \fIlayout\fP"
+.TP 8
+.B "\-xkbmodel \fImodel\fP"
+.TP 8
+.B "\-xkboptions \fIoption\fP"
+.TP 8
+.B "\-xkbrules \fIrule\fP"
+.TP 8
+.B "\-xkbvariant \fIvariant\fp"
+These options implement the xkeyboard extension for loading
+a particular keyboard map as the X server starts.  The behavior is similar
+to the \fIsetxkbmap\fP program.  The layout data is located at \fI
+__datadir__/X11/xkb/\fP.  Additional information is found in the
+README files therein and in the man page of \fIsetxkbmap\fP.  For example
+in order to load a German layout for a pc105 keyboard one uses
+the options:
+.br
+.I " \-xkblayout de \-xkbmodel pc105"
+.PP
+Alternatively one may use the \fIsetxkbmap\fP program after XWin is
+running or even the \fIxmodmap\fP program for loading the old-style
+keyboard maps.

+
+.SH BUGS
+.I XWin
+and this man page still have many limitations.  Some of the more obvious
+ones are:
+.br
+- The display mode can not be changed once the X server has started.
+.br
+- The XWin software is developing rapidly; it is therefore likely that
+this man page is not up to date.  It is always prudent to
+look also at the output of \fIXWin -help\fP and to the Cygwin/X User Guide
+at /usr/share/doc/cygwin-x-doc-x.x.x/ug/cygwin-x-ug.xxx in order to
+check the options that are operative.
