Xorg - X11R7 X server
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
.RI [\fB:\fP display ]
|
|
.RI [ option
|
|
.IR ... ]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
is a full featured X server that was originally designed for UNIX and
|
|
UNIX-like operating systems running on Intel x86 hardware. It now runs
|
|
on a wider range of hardware and OS platforms.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This work was derived by the X.Org Foundation from the XFree86 Project's
|
|
.I "XFree86\ 4.4rc2"
|
|
release.
|
|
The XFree86 release was originally derived from
|
|
.I "X386\ 1.2"
|
|
by Thomas Roell which was contributed to X11R5 by Snitily Graphics
|
|
Consulting Service.
|
|
.SH PLATFORMS
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
operates under a wide range of operating systems and hardware platforms.
|
|
The Intel x86 (IA32) architecture is the most widely supported hardware
|
|
platform. Other hardware platforms include Compaq Alpha, Intel IA64, AMD64,
|
|
SPARC and PowerPC. The most widely supported operating systems are the
|
|
free/OpenSource UNIX-like systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
|
|
OpenBSD, and Solaris. Commercial UNIX operating systems such as
|
|
UnixWare are also supported. Other supported operating systems include
|
|
GNU Hurd. Mac OS X is supported with the
|
|
Xquartz(__appmansuffix__) X server. Win32/Cygwin is supported with the
|
|
XWin(__appmansuffix__) X server.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.SH "NETWORK CONNECTIONS"
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
supports connections made using the following reliable
|
|
byte-streams:
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.I "Local"
|
|
On most platforms, the "Local" connection type is a UNIX-domain socket.
|
|
On some System V platforms, the "local" connection types also include
|
|
STREAMS pipes, named pipes, and some other mechanisms.
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.I TCP\/IP
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
listens on port
|
|
.RI 6000+ n ,
|
|
where
|
|
.I n
|
|
is the display number. This connection type can be disabled with the
|
|
.B \-nolisten
|
|
option (see the Xserver(1) man page for details).
|
|
.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
|
|
For operating systems that support local connections other than Unix
|
|
Domain sockets (SVR3 and SVR4), there is a compiled-in list specifying
|
|
the order in which local connections should be attempted. This list
|
|
can be overridden by the
|
|
.I XLOCAL
|
|
environment variable described below. If the display name indicates a
|
|
best-choice connection should be made (e.g.
|
|
.BR :0.0 ),
|
|
each connection mechanism is tried until a connection succeeds or no
|
|
more mechanisms are available. Note: for these OSs, the Unix Domain
|
|
socket connection is treated differently from the other local connection
|
|
types. To use it the connection must be made to
|
|
.BR unix:0.0 .
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.I XLOCAL
|
|
environment variable should contain a list of one more
|
|
more of the following:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS 8
|
|
.nf
|
|
NAMED
|
|
PTS
|
|
SCO
|
|
ISC
|
|
.fi
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
which represent SVR4 Named Streams pipe, Old-style USL Streams pipe,
|
|
SCO XSight Streams pipe, and ISC Streams pipe, respectively. You can
|
|
select a single mechanism (e.g.
|
|
.IR XLOCAL=NAMED ),
|
|
or an ordered list (e.g. \fIXLOCAL="NAMED:PTS:SCO"\fP).
|
|
his variable overrides the compiled-in defaults. For SVR4 it is
|
|
recommended that
|
|
.I NAMED
|
|
be the first preference connection. The default setting is
|
|
.IR PTS:NAMED:ISC:SCO .
|
|
.PP
|
|
To globally override the compiled-in defaults, you should define (and
|
|
export if using
|
|
.B sh
|
|
or
|
|
.BR ksh )
|
|
.I XLOCAL
|
|
globally. If you use startx(1) or xinit(1), the definition should be
|
|
at the top of your
|
|
.I .xinitrc
|
|
file. If you use xdm(1), the definitions should be early on in the
|
|
.I __projectroot__/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession
|
|
script.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
supports several mechanisms for supplying/obtaining configuration and
|
|
run-time parameters: command line options, environment variables, the
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) configuration files, auto-detection, and
|
|
fallback defaults. When the same information is supplied in more than
|
|
one way, the highest precedence mechanism is used. The list of mechanisms
|
|
is ordered from highest precedence to lowest. Note that not all parameters
|
|
can be supplied via all methods. The available command line options
|
|
and environment variables (and some defaults) are described here and in
|
|
the Xserver(__appmansuffix__) manual page. Most configuration file
|
|
parameters, with their defaults, are described in the
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) manual page. Driver and module specific
|
|
configuration parameters are described in the relevant driver or module
|
|
manual page.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In addition to the normal server options described in the
|
|
Xserver(__appmansuffix__) manual page,
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
accepts the following command line switches:
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI vt XX
|
|
.I XX
|
|
specifies the Virtual Terminal device number which
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
will use. Without this option,
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
will pick the first available Virtual Terminal that it can locate. This
|
|
option applies only to platforms that have virtual terminal support, such
|
|
as Linux, BSD, OpenSolaris, SVR3, and SVR4.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-allowMouseOpenFail
|
|
Allow the server to start up even if the mouse device can't be opened
|
|
or initialised. This is equivalent to the
|
|
.B AllowMouseOpenFail
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-allowNonLocalXvidtune
|
|
Make the VidMode extension available to remote clients. This allows
|
|
the xvidtune client to connect from another host. This is equivalent
|
|
to the
|
|
.B AllowNonLocalXvidtune
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option. By default non-local
|
|
connections are not allowed.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-bgamma " value"
|
|
Set the blue gamma correction.
|
|
.I value
|
|
must be between 0.1 and 10.
|
|
The default is 1.0. Not all drivers support this. See also the
|
|
.BR \-gamma ,
|
|
.BR \-rgamma ,
|
|
and
|
|
.B \-ggamma
|
|
options.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-bpp " n"
|
|
No longer supported. Use
|
|
.B \-depth
|
|
to set the color depth, and use
|
|
.B \-fbbpp
|
|
if you really need to force a non-default framebuffer (hardware) pixel
|
|
format.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-config " file"
|
|
Read the server configuration from
|
|
.IR file .
|
|
This option will work for any file when the server is run as root (i.e,
|
|
with real-uid 0), or for files relative to a directory in the config
|
|
search path for all other users.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-configdir " directory"
|
|
Read the server configuration files from
|
|
.IR directory .
|
|
This option will work for any directory when the server is run as root
|
|
(i.e, with real-uid 0), or for directories relative to a directory in the
|
|
config directory search path for all other users.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-configure
|
|
When this option is specified, the
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
server loads all video driver modules, probes for available hardware,
|
|
and writes out an initial xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file based on
|
|
what was detected. This option currently has some problems on some
|
|
platforms, but in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the
|
|
configuration process. This option is only available when the server
|
|
is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI "\-crt /dev/tty" XX
|
|
SCO only. This is the same as the
|
|
.B vt
|
|
option, and is provided for compatibility with the native SCO X server.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-depth " n"
|
|
Sets the default color depth. Legal values are 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, and
|
|
24. Not all drivers support all values.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-disableVidMode
|
|
Disable the parts of the VidMode extension (used by the xvidtune
|
|
client) that can be used to change the video modes. This is equivalent
|
|
to the
|
|
.B DisableVidModeExtension
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-fbbpp \fIn\fP
|
|
Sets the number of framebuffer bits per pixel. You should only set this
|
|
if you're sure it's necessary; normally the server can deduce the correct
|
|
value from
|
|
.B \-depth
|
|
above. Useful if you want to run a depth 24 configuration with a 24
|
|
bpp framebuffer rather than the (possibly default) 32 bpp framebuffer
|
|
(or vice versa). Legal values are 1, 8, 16, 24, 32. Not all drivers
|
|
support all values.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-flipPixels
|
|
Swap the default values for the black and white pixels.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-gamma " value"
|
|
Set the gamma correction.
|
|
.I value
|
|
must be between 0.1 and 10. The default is 1.0. This value is applied
|
|
equally to the R, G and B values. Those values can be set independently
|
|
with the
|
|
.BR \-rgamma ,
|
|
.BR \-bgamma ,
|
|
and
|
|
.B \-ggamma
|
|
options. Not all drivers support this.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-ggamma " value"
|
|
Set the green gamma correction.
|
|
.I value
|
|
must be between 0.1 and 10. The default is 1.0. Not all drivers support
|
|
this. See also the
|
|
.BR \-gamma ,
|
|
.BR \-rgamma ,
|
|
and
|
|
.B \-bgamma
|
|
options.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-ignoreABI
|
|
The
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
server checks the ABI revision levels of each module that it loads. It
|
|
will normally refuse to load modules with ABI revisions that are newer
|
|
than the server's. This is because such modules might use interfaces
|
|
that the server does not have. When this option is specified, mismatches
|
|
like this are downgraded from fatal errors to warnings. This option
|
|
should be used with care.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-isolateDevice \fIbus\-id\fP
|
|
Restrict device resets to the device at
|
|
.IR bus\-id .
|
|
The
|
|
.I bus\-id
|
|
string has the form
|
|
.IB bustype : bus : device : function
|
|
(e.g., \(oqPCI:1:0:0\(cq).
|
|
At present, only isolation of PCI devices is supported; i.e., this option
|
|
is ignored if
|
|
.I bustype
|
|
is anything other than \(oqPCI\(cq.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-keeptty
|
|
Prevent the server from detaching its initial controlling terminal.
|
|
This option is only useful when debugging the server. Not all platforms
|
|
support (or can use) this option.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-keyboard " keyboard-name"
|
|
Use the xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file
|
|
.B InputDevice
|
|
section called
|
|
.I keyboard-name
|
|
as the core keyboard. This option is ignored when the
|
|
.B Layout
|
|
section specifies a core keyboard. In the absence of both a Layout
|
|
section and this option, the first relevant
|
|
.B InputDevice
|
|
section is used for the core keyboard.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-layout " layout-name"
|
|
Use the xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file
|
|
.B Layout
|
|
section called
|
|
.IR layout-name .
|
|
By default the first
|
|
.B Layout
|
|
section is used.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-logfile " filename"
|
|
Use the file called
|
|
.I filename
|
|
as the
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
server log file. The default log file is
|
|
.BI __logdir__/Xorg. n .log
|
|
on most platforms, where
|
|
.I n
|
|
is the display number of the
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
server. The default may be in a different directory on some platforms.
|
|
This option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e, with
|
|
real-uid 0).
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BR \-logverbose " [\fIn\fP]"
|
|
Sets the verbosity level for information printed to the
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
server log file. If the
|
|
.I n
|
|
value isn't supplied, each occurrence of this option increments the log
|
|
file verbosity level. When the
|
|
.I n
|
|
value is supplied, the log file verbosity level is set to that value.
|
|
The default log file verbosity level is 3.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-modulepath " searchpath"
|
|
Set the module search path to
|
|
.IR searchpath .
|
|
.I searchpath
|
|
is a comma separated list of directories to search for
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
server modules. This option is only available when the server is run
|
|
as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-nosilk
|
|
Disable Silken Mouse support.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-novtswitch
|
|
Disable the automatic switching on X server reset and shutdown to the
|
|
VT that was active when the server started, if supported by the OS.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-pixmap24
|
|
Set the internal pixmap format for depth 24 pixmaps to 24 bits per pixel.
|
|
The default is usually 32 bits per pixel. There is normally little
|
|
reason to use this option. Some client applications don't like this
|
|
pixmap format, even though it is a perfectly legal format. This is
|
|
equivalent to the
|
|
.B Pixmap
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-pixmap32
|
|
Set the internal pixmap format for depth 24 pixmaps to 32 bits per pixel.
|
|
This is usually the default. This is equivalent to the
|
|
.B Pixmap
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-pointer " pointer-name"
|
|
Use the xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file
|
|
.B InputDevice
|
|
section called
|
|
.I pointer-name
|
|
as the core pointer. This option is ignored when the
|
|
.B Layout
|
|
section specifies a core pointer. In the absence of both a Layout
|
|
section and this option, the first relevant
|
|
.B InputDevice
|
|
section is used for the core pointer.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-quiet
|
|
Suppress most informational messages at startup. The verbosity level
|
|
is set to zero.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-rgamma " value"
|
|
Set the red gamma correction.
|
|
.I value
|
|
must be between 0.1 and 10. The default is 1.0. Not all drivers support
|
|
this. See also the
|
|
.BR \-gamma ,
|
|
.BR \-bgamma ,
|
|
and
|
|
.B \-ggamma
|
|
options.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-sharevts
|
|
Share virtual terminals with another X server, if supported by the OS.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-screen " screen-name"
|
|
Use the xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file
|
|
.B Screen
|
|
section called
|
|
.IR screen-name .
|
|
By default the screens referenced by the default
|
|
.B Layout
|
|
section are used, or the first
|
|
.B Screen
|
|
section when there are no
|
|
.B Layout
|
|
sections.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-showconfig
|
|
This is the same as the
|
|
.B \-version
|
|
option, and is included for compatibility reasons. It may be removed
|
|
in a future release, so the
|
|
.B \-version
|
|
option should be used instead.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-showDefaultModulePath
|
|
Print out the default module path the server was compiled with.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-showDefaultLibPath
|
|
Print out the path libraries should be installed to.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-showopts
|
|
For each driver module installed, print out the list of options and their
|
|
argument types.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-weight " nnn"
|
|
Set RGB weighting at 16 bpp. The default is 565. This applies only to
|
|
those drivers which support 16 bpp.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BR \-verbose " [\fIn\fP]"
|
|
Sets the verbosity level for information printed on stderr. If the
|
|
.I n
|
|
value isn't supplied, each occurrence of this option increments the
|
|
verbosity level. When the
|
|
.I n
|
|
value is supplied, the verbosity level is set to that value. The default
|
|
verbosity level is 0.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-version
|
|
Print out the server version, patchlevel, release date, the operating
|
|
system/platform it was built on, and whether it includes module loader
|
|
support.
|
|
.SH "KEYBOARD"
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
server is normally configured to recognize various special combinations
|
|
of key presses that instruct the server to perform some action, rather
|
|
than just sending the key press event to a client application. These actions
|
|
depend on the XKB keymap loaded by a particular keyboard device and may or
|
|
may not be available on a given configuration.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The following key combinations are commonly part of the default XKEYBOARD
|
|
keymap.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
|
|
Immediately kills the server -- no questions asked. It can be disabled by
|
|
setting the
|
|
.B DontZap
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option to a TRUE value.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS 8
|
|
It should be noted that zapping is triggered by the
|
|
.B Terminate_Server
|
|
action in the keyboard map. This action is not part of the default keymaps
|
|
but can be enabled with the XKB option
|
|
.B \*qterminate:ctrl_alt_bksp\*q.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus
|
|
Change video mode to next one specified in the configuration file.
|
|
This can be disabled with the
|
|
.B DontZoom
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus
|
|
Change video mode to previous one specified in the configuration file.
|
|
This can be disabled with the
|
|
.B DontZoom
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B Ctrl+Alt+F1...F12
|
|
For systems with virtual terminal support, these keystroke
|
|
combinations are used to switch to virtual terminals 1 through 12,
|
|
respectively. This can be disabled with the
|
|
.B DontVTSwitch
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option.
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
typically uses a configuration file called
|
|
.B xorg.conf
|
|
and configuration files with the suffix
|
|
.I .conf
|
|
in a directory called
|
|
.B __xconfigdir__
|
|
for its initial setup.
|
|
Refer to the xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) manual page for information
|
|
about the format of this file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
has a mechanism for automatically generating a built-in configuration
|
|
at run-time when no
|
|
.B xorg.conf
|
|
file or
|
|
.B __xconfigdir__
|
|
files are present. The current version of this automatic configuration
|
|
mechanism works in two ways.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The first is via enhancements that have made many components of the
|
|
.B xorg.conf
|
|
file optional. This means that information that can be probed or
|
|
reasonably deduced doesn't need to be specified explicitly, greatly

reducing the amount of built-in configuration information that needs to

be generated at run-time.

|
The second is to have "safe" fallbacks for most configuration information.
|
|
This maximises the likelihood that the
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
server will start up in some usable configuration even when information
|
|
about the specific hardware is not available.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The automatic configuration support for Xorg is work in progress.
|
|
It is currently aimed at the most popular hardware and software platforms
|
|
supported by Xorg. Enhancements are planned for future releases.
