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 "SEE ALSO" -X(__miscmansuffix__), Xserver(1), xdm(1), xinit(1), XWinrc(1), setxkbmap(1) - - -.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. - - -.SH AUTHORS -This list is by no means complete, but direct contributors to the -Cygwin/X project include (in alphabetical order by last name): Stuart -Adamson, Michael Bax, Jehan Bing, Lev Bishop, Dr. Peter Busch, Biju G -C, Robert Collins, Nick Crabtree, Early Ehlinger, Christopher Faylor, -John Fortin, Brian Genisio, Fabrizio Gennari, Alexander Gottwald, Ralf -Habacker, Colin Harrison, Matthieu Herrb, Alan Hourihane, Pierre A -Humblet, Harold L Hunt II, Dakshinamurthy Karra, Kensuke Matsuzaki, -Takuma Murakami, Earle F.
