-.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/tmp/XWin.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/usr/X11R6/lib/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/tmp/XWin.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.
-.B \-silent-dup-error
-If another instance of XWin is found running, exit silently and don't display
-the error messge.
-.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/usr/X11R6/lib/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.
