Think Xnest but with support for modern extensions +like composite, damage and randr. + +Unlike Xnest which is an X proxy, i.e. limited to the +capabilities of the host X server, Xephyr is a real X server which +uses the host X server window as "framebuffer" via fast SHM XImages. + +It also has support for 'visually' debugging what the server is +painting. + + +How To Use +========== + +You probably want to run like; + +Xephyr :1 -ac -screen 800x600 & + +Then set DISPLAY=:1 and run whatever X apps you like. + +Use 'xrandr' to change to orientation/size. + +There is a '-parent' switch which works just like Xnests ( for use +with things like matchbox-nest - http://matchbox.handhelds.org ). + +There is also a '-host-cursor' switch to set 'cursor acceleration' - +The host's cursor is reused. This is only really there to aid +debugging by avoiding server paints for the cursor. Performance +improvement is negiable. + +Send a SIGUSR1 to the server ( eg kill -USR1 `pidof Xephyr` ) to +toggle the debugging mode. In this mode red rectangles are painted to +screen areas getting painted before painting the actual content. The +delay between this can be altered by setting a XEPHYR_PAUSE env var to +a value in micro seconds. + + +Caveats +======= + + - Depth is limited to being the same as the host. + *Update* As of 8/11/2004. Xephyr can now do 8bpp & 16bpp + on 24bpp host. + + - Rotated displays are currently updated via full blits. This + is slower than a normal oprientated display. Debug mode will + therefor not be of much use rotated. + + - The '-host-cursor' cursor is static in its appearence. + + - The build gets a warning about 'nanosleep'. I think the various '-D' + build flags are causing this. I havn't figured as yet how to work + round it. It doesn't appear to break anything however. + + - Keyboard handling is basic but works. + + - Mouse button 5 probably wont work. + + + + + +Matthew Allum 2004 + + -- cgit v1.2.3
