.SH NAME
|
|
Xserver \- X Window System display server
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B X
|
|
[option ...]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I X
|
|
is the generic name for the X Window System display server. 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 \-bs
|
|
disables backing store support on all screens.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-br
|
|
sets the default root window to solid black instead of the standard root weave
|
|
pattern.

|
|
The class numbers are as specified in the X protocol.
|
|
Not obeyed by all servers.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-co \fIfilename\fP
|
|
sets name of RGB color database. The default is
|
|
.IR __projectroot__/share/X11/rgb .
|
|
.ig
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-config \fIfilename\fP
|
|
reads more options from the given file. Options in the file may be separated
|
|
by newlines if desired. If a '#' character appears on a line, all characters
|
|
between it and the next newline are ignored, providing a simple commenting
|
|
facility. The \fB\-config\fP option itself may appear in the file.
|
|
.BR NOTE :
|
|
This option is disabled when the Xserver is run with an effective uid
|
|
different from the user's real uid.
|
|
..
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-core
|
|
causes the server to generate a core dump on fatal errors.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-deferglyphs \fIwhichfonts\fP

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 \-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 \-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 \-logo
|
|
turns on the X Window System logo display in the screen-saver.
|
|
There is currently no way to change this from a client.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B nologo
|
|
turns off the X Window System logo display in the screen-saver.
|
|
There is currently no way to change this from a client.
|
|
.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
|
|
.B [+-]kb
|
|
enables(+) or disables(-) the XKEYBOARD extension.
|
|
.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 SECURITY EXTENSION OPTIONS
|
|
X servers that support the SECURITY extension accept the following option:
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-sp \fIfilename\fP
|
|
causes the server to attempt to read and interpret filename as a security
|
|
policy file with the format described below. The file is read at server
|
|
startup and reread at each server reset.
|
|
The syntax of the security policy file is described in
|
|
\fISecurityPolicy\fP(__filemansuffix__).
|
|
.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
|
|

There should be no leading or trailing spaces on any lines. For example:

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 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:<dir>\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 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. It has since been
|
|
extensively rewritten by Keith Packard and Bob Scheifler, from MIT.
|
|
Dave Wiggins took over post-R5 and made substantial improvements.
