This list can be overridden by -the \fIXLOCAL\fP environment variable described below. If the display name -indicates a best-choice connection should be made (e.g. \fI:0.0\fP), 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 \fIunix:0.0\fP. -.PP -The \fIXLOCAL\fP environment variable should contain a list of one more -more of the following: -.sp .5v -.in 8 -.nf -NAMED -PTS -SCO -ISC -.fi -.in -.sp .5v -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. \fIXLOCAL=NAMED\fP), or an ordered -list (e.g. \fIXLOCAL="NAMED:PTS:SCO"\fP). This variable overrides the -compiled-in defaults. For SVR4 it is recommended that \fINAMED\fP be -the first preference connection. The default setting is -\fIPTS:NAMED:ISC:SCO\fP. -.PP -To globally override the compiled-in defaults, you should define (and -export if using \fIsh\fP or \fIksh\fP) \fIXLOCAL\fP globally. If you -use \fIstartx/xinit\fP, the definition should be at the top of -your \fI.xinitrc\fP file. If you use \fIxdm\fP, the definitions should be -early on in the \fI<XRoot>/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession\fP script. -.SH OPTIONS -In addition to the normal server options described in the \fIXserver(1)\fP -manual page, \fIXFree86\fP accepts the following command line switches: -.TP 8 -.B vt\fIXX\fP -\fIXX\fP specifies the Virtual Terminal device number which -\fIXFree86\fP will use. Without this option, \fIXFree86\fP will pick the first -available Virtual Terminal that it can locate. This option applies only -to SVR3, SVR4, Linux, and BSD OSs with the `syscons' or `pcvt' driver. -.TP 8 -.B -crt /dev/tty\fIXX\fP -SCO only. This is the same as the \fBvt\fP option, and is provided for -compatibility with the native SCO X server. -.TP 8 -.B \-probeonly -Causes the server to exit after the device probing stage. The XF86Config file -is still used when this option is given, so information that can be -auto-detected should be commented out. -.TP 8 -.B \-quiet -Suppress most informational messages at startup. -.TP 8 -.B \-bpp \fIn\fP -Set number of bits per pixel. The default is 8. Legal values are -1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 24, 32. Not all servers support all values. -.TP 8 -.B \-weight \fInnn\fP -Set RGB weighting at 16 bpp. The default is 565. This applies -only to those servers which support 16 bpp. -.TP 8 -.B \-flipPixels -Swap the default values for the black and white pixels. -.TP 8 -.B \-disableVidMode -Disable the the parts of the VidMode extension used by the xvidtune client -that can be used to change the video modes. -.TP 8 -.B \-allowNonLocalXvidtune -Allow the xvidtune client to connect from another host. By default non-local -connections are not allowed. -.TP 8 -.B \-disableModInDev -Disable dynamic modification of input device settings. -.TP 8 -.B \-allowNonLocalModInDev -Allow changes to keyboard and mouse settings from non-local clients. -By default, connections from non-local clients are not allowed to do this. -.TP -.B \-allowMouseOpenFail -Allow the server to start up even if the mouse device can't be opened or -initialised. -.TP 8 -.B \-gamma \fIvalue\fP -Set the gamma correction. \fIvalue\fP must be between 0.1 and 10. The -default is 1.0 -This value is applied equally to the R, G and B values. Not all servers -support this. -.TP 8 -.B \-rgamma \fIvalue\fP -Set the red gamma correction. \fIvalue\fP must be between 0.1 and 10. The -default is 1.0 -Not all servers support this. -.TP 8 -.B \-ggamma \fIvalue\fP -Set the green gamma correction. \fIvalue\fP must be between 0.1 and 10. The -default is 1.0 -Not all servers support this. -.TP 8 -.B \-bgamma \fIvalue\fP -Set the blue gamma correction. \fIvalue\fP must be between 0.1 and 10. The -default is 1.0 -Not all servers support this. -.TP 8 -.B \-showconfig -Print out the server version, patchlevel, and a list of screen drivers -configured in the server. -.TP 8 -.B \-verbose -Multiple occurrences of this flag increase the amount of information printed on -stderr (more than the default). -.TP 8 -.B \-version -Same as \fB\-showconfig\fP. -.TP 8 -.B \-xf86config \fIfile\fP -Read the server configuration from \fIfile\fP. This option is only available -when the server is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0). -.TP 8 -.B \-keeptty -Prevent the server from detaching its initial controlling terminal. This -option is only useful when debugging the server. -.SH "KEYBOARD" -Multiple key presses recognized directly by \fIXFree86\fP are: -.TP 8 -.B Ctrl+Alt+Backspace -Immediately kills the server -- no questions asked. (Can be disabled by -specifying "DontZap" in the \fBServerFlags\fP section of the XF86Config file.) -.TP 8 -.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus -Change video mode to next one specified in the configuration file, -(increasing video resolution order). -.TP 8 -.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus -Change video mode to previous one specified in the configuration file, -(decreasing video resolution order). -.TP 8 -.B Ctrl+Alt+F1...F12 -For BSD systems using the syscons driver and Linux, these keystroke -combinations are used to switch to Virtual -Console 1 through 12. -.SH SETUP -.I XFree86 -uses a configuration file called \fBXF86Config\fP for its initial setup. -Refer to the -.I XF86Config(4/5) -manual page for more information. -.SH FILES -.TP 30 -/etc/XF86Config -Server configuration file -.TP 30 -<XRoot>/lib/X11/XF86Config.\fIhostname\fP -Server configuration file -.TP 30 -<XRoot>/lib/X11/XF86Config -Server configuration file -.TP 30 -<XRoot>/bin/\(** -Client binaries -.TP 30 -<XRoot>/include/\(** -Header files -.TP 30 -<XRoot>/lib/\(** -Libraries -.TP 30 -<XRoot>/lib/X11/fonts/\(** -Fonts -.TP 30 -<XRoot>/lib/X11/rgb.txt -Color names to RGB mapping -.TP 30 -<XRoot>/lib/X11/XErrorDB -Client error message database -.TP 30 -<XRoot>/lib/X11/app-defaults/\(** -Client resource specifications -.TP 30 -<XRoot>/man/man?/\(** -Manual pages -.TP 30 -/etc/X\fIn\fP.hosts -Initial access control list for display \fIn\fP -.LP -Note: <XRoot> refers to the root of the X11 install tree. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -X(1), Xserver(1), xdm(1), xinit(1), XF86Config(4/5), xf86config(1), -XF86_SVGA(1), XF86_VGA16(1), XF86_Mono(1), XF86_Accel(1), xvidtune(1) -.SH AUTHORS -.PP -For X11R5, \fIXF86 1.2\fP was provided by: -.TP 8 -Thomas Roell, \fIroell@informatik.tu-muenchen.de\fP -TU-Muenchen: Server and SVR4 stuff -.TP 8 -Mark W.
