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 \-br +sets the default root window to solid black instead of the standard root weave +pattern. This is the default unless -retro or -wr is specified. +.TP 8 +.B \-bs +disables backing store support on all screens. +.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. +.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 \-nocursor +disable the display of the pointer cursor. +.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 \-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:\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 +.TP 30 +.I /etc/X\fBn\fP.hosts +Initial access control list for display number \fBn\fP +.TP 30 +.IR __datadir__/fonts/X11/misc , __datadir__/fonts/X11/75dpi , __datadir__/fonts/X11/100dpi +Bitmap font directories +.TP 30 +.IR __datadir__/fonts/X11/TTF , __datadir__/fonts/X11/Type1 +Outline font directories +.TP 30 +.I /tmp/.X11-unix/X\fBn\fP +Unix domain socket for display number \fBn\fP +.TP 30 +.I /usr/adm/X\fBn\fPmsgs +Error log file for display number \fBn\fP if run from \fIinit\fP(__adminmansuffix__) +.TP 30 +.I __projectroot__/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-errors +Default error log file if the server is run from \fIxdm\fP(1) +.SH "SEE ALSO" +General information: \fIX\fP(__miscmansuffix__) +.PP +Protocols: +.I "X Window System Protocol," +.I "The X Font Service Protocol," +.I "X Display Manager Control Protocol" +.PP +Fonts: \fIbdftopcf\fP(1), \fImkfontdir\fP(1), \fImkfontscale\fP(1), +\fIxfs\fP(1), \fIxlsfonts\fP(1), \fIxfontsel\fP(1), \fIxfd\fP(1), +.I "X Logical Font Description Conventions" +.PP +Security: \fIXsecurity\fP(__miscmansuffix__), \fIxauth\fP(1), \fIXau\fP(1), +\fIxdm\fP(1), \fIxhost\fP(1), \fIxfwp\fP(1), +.I "Security Extension Specification" +.PP +Starting the server: \fIstartx\fP(1), \fIxdm\fP(1), \fIxinit\fP(1) +.PP +Controlling the server once started: \fIxset\fP(1), \fIxsetroot\fP(1), +\fIxhost\fP(1), \fIxinput\fP(1), \fIxrandr\fP(1) +.PP +Server-specific man pages: +\fIXorg\fP(1), \fIXdmx\fP(1), \fIXephyr\fP(1), \fIXnest\fP(1), +\fIXvfb\fP(1), \fIXquartz\fP(1), \fIXWin\fP(1). +.PP +Server internal documentation: +.I "Definition of the Porting Layer for the X v11 Sample Server" +.SH AUTHORS +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.
