XDarwin \- X window system server for Darwin operating system
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B XDarwin
|
|
[ options ] ...
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
#ifdef DARWIN_WITH_QUARTZ
|
|
.I XDarwin
|
|
is the X window server for Mac OS X and the Darwin operating system
|
|
provided by the XFree86 Project.
|
|
.I XDarwin
|
|
can run in three different modes. On Mac OS X,
|
|
.I XDarwin
|
|
runs in parallel with Aqua in full screen or rootless modes. These modes
|
|
are called Quartz modes, named after the Quartz 2D compositing engine used
|
|
by Aqua. XDarwin can also be run from the Darwin text console in IOKit mode.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When running from the console,
|
|
.I XDarwin
|
|
acts as the window server and uses IOKit services to access the display
|
|
framebuffer, mouse and keyboard and to provide a layer of hardware
|
|
abstraction. In console mode,
|
|
.I XDarwin
|
|
will normally be started by the \fIxdm(1)\fP display manager or by a script
|
|
that runs the program \fIxinit(1)\fP.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When running with the Mac OS X Aqua GUI,
|
|
.I XDarwin
|
|
will normally be started by launching from the Finder, but it may also be
|
|
started from the command line with the \fB\-quartz\fP, \fB\-fullscreen\fP, or
|
|
\fB\-rootless\fP options. Note that the defaults for various command line
|
|
options are set by the
|
|
.I XDarwin
|
|
application preferences in the Quartz modes.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In full screen Quartz mode, when the X Window System is active, it takes over
|
|
the entire screen. CoreGraphics is used to capture and draw to the screen. The
|
|
.I XDarwin
|
|
application allows easy switching between the Mac OS X and X window
|
|
desktops. More information is available in the Help menu of the
|
|
.I XDarwin
|
|
application.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In rootless mode, the X window system and Aqua share your display. The root
|
|
window of the X11 display is the size of the screen and contains all the
|
|
other windows. The X11 root window is not displayed in rootless mode as Aqua
|
|
handles the desktop background.
|
|

|
|
.I XDarwin
|
|
is the X window server for Mac OS X and the Darwin operating system
|
|
provided by the XFree86 Project. This version of
|
|
.I XDarwin
|
|
can only be started from the Darwin text console. The Mac OS X Aqua GUI, if
|
|
present, must be shut down.
|
|
.I XDarwin
|
|
uses IOKit services to access the display
|
|
framebuffer, mouse and keyboard and to provide a layer of hardware
|
|
abstraction.
|
|
.I XDarwin
|
|
will normally be started by the \fIxdm(1)\fP display manager or by a script
|
|
that runs the program \fIxinit(1)\fP.

.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.PP
|
|
In addition to the normal server options described in the \fIXserver(1)\fP
|
|
manual page, \fIXDarwin\fP accepts the following command line switches:
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-fakebuttons
|
|
Emulates a 3 button mouse using modifier keys. By default, the Command modifier
|
|
is used to emulate button 2 and Option is used for button 3. Thus, clicking the
|
|
first mouse button while holding down Command will act like clicking
|
|
button 2. Holding down Option will simulate button 3.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-nofakebuttons
|
|
Do not emulate a 3 button mouse. This is the default.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B "\-fakemouse2 \fImodifiers\fP"
|
|
Change the modifier keys used to emulate the second mouse button. By default,
|
|
Command is used to emulate the second button. Any combination of the following
|
|
modifier names may be used: Shift, Option, Control, Command, Fn. For example,
|
|
.B \-fakemouse2 """Option,Shift""
|
|
will set holding Option, Shift and clicking on button one as equivalent to
|
|
clicking the second mouse button.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B "\-fakemouse3 \fImodifiers\fP"
|
|
Change the modifier keys used to emulate the third mouse button. By default,
|
|
Option is used to emulate the third button. Any combination of the following
|
|
modifier names may be used: Shift, Option, Control, Command, Fn. For example,
|
|
.B \-fakemouse3 """Control,Shift""
|
|
will set holding Control, Shift and clicking on button one as equivalent to
|
|
clicking the third mouse button.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B "\-keymap \fIfile\fP"
|
|
On startup \fIXDarwin\fP translates a Darwin keymapping into an X keymap.
|
|
The default is to read this keymapping from USA.keymapping. With this option
|
|
the keymapping will be read from \fIfile\fP instead. If the file's path is
|
|
not specified, it will be searched for in Library/Keyboards/ underneath the
|
|
following directories (in order): ~, /, /Network, /System.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-nokeymap
|
|
On startup \fIXDarwin\fP translates a Darwin keymapping into an X keymap.
|
|
With this option XDarwin queries the kernel for the current keymapping
|
|
instead of reading it from a file. This will often fail on newer kernels.
|
|
#ifdef DARWIN_WITH_QUARTZ
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B "\-size \fIwidth\fP \fIheight\fP"
|
|

|
|
.B "\-depth \fIdepth\fP"

|
|
per pixel are supported.
|
|
Ignored in rootless mode.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B "\-refresh \fIrate\fP"
|
|
Gives the refresh rate to use in Hz. For LCD displays this should be 0.
|
|
Ignored in rootless mode.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-fullscreen
|
|
Run full screen in parallel with Mac OS X Aqua GUI.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-rootless

|
|

Run in parallel with the Mac OS X Aqua GUI using the default mode.
|
|
#else
|
|

|
|
.B "\-size \fIwidth\fP \fIheight\fP"
|
|
Sets the screen resolution for the X server to use.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B "\-depth \fIdepth\fP"
|
|
Specifies the color bit depth to use. Currently only 8, 15, and 24 color bits
|
|
per pixel are supported.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B "\-refresh \fIrate\fP"
|
|
Gives the refresh rate to use in Hz. For LCD displays this should be 0.

.SH BUGS
|
|
.I XDarwin
|
|
and this man page still have many limitations. Some of the more obvious
|
|
ones are:
|
|
.br
|
|
- The display mode cannot be changed once the X server has started.
|
|
.br
|
|
- A screen saver is not supported.

XFree86 was originally ported to Mac OS X Server by John Carmack. Dave
|
|
Zarzycki used this as the basis of his port of XFree86 4.0 to Darwin 1.0.
|
|
Torrey T. Lyons improved and integrated this code into the XFree86
|
|
Project's mainline for the 4.0.2 release.
