.TH XWIN 1 __vendorversion__
|
|
.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 OPTIONS
|
|
.PP
|
|
In addition to the normal server options described in the \fIXserver(1)\fP
|
|
manual page, \fIXWin\fP accepts the following command line switches:
|
|
.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 "\-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.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B "\-engine \fIengine_type_id\fP"
|
|
Override 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
|
|
Run the server in fullscreen mode, as opposed to the default windowed
|
|
mode.
|
|
.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 "\-screen \fIscreen_number\fP \fIwidth\fP \fIheight\fP"
|
|
Sets the display resolution for the X server to use on screen
|
|
.I screen_number.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-nodecoration
|
|
Draw the Cygwin/XFree86 window without a border or title bar.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-rootless
|
|
EXPERIMENTAL: Run Cygwin/XFree86 in pseduo-rootless mode.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-lesspointer
|
|
Hide the Windows mouse pointer when over an inactive XFree86 window
|
|
.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 "\-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 usefullness 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 \-emulatepseudo
|
|
Create a depth 8 PseudoColor visual when running in depths 15, 16, 24,
|
|
or 32, collectively known as TrueColor depths. The PseudoColor visual
|
|
does not have correct colors, and it may crash, but it at least allows
|
|
you to run your PseudoColor application in TrueColor modes.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-[no]unixkill
|
|
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace exits the X Server
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-[no]winkill
|
|
Alt+F4 exits the X Server
