Description
The and commands start the X server. The command supports DECstation 5000 Model 200 PXG and Model 200 PXG Turbo color workstations. The
command supports DECstation 5000 Model 200 PX color workstation.
The command that executes the X server is specified together with its command line options in the file and, therefore, is automatically run
when your system is started in multiuser mode.
Options
The following options are device independent. These options are available on all workstation hardware platforms running X11 Release 3
servers.
-a num Sets the mouse acceleration value to the specified number of pixels. The default is 4.
-bs Disables Backing Store. Backing Store is disabled if the -bs flag is specified on the command line.
-c Turns off key clicking.
c num Sets the key click volume to the specified number (0-100). The default is 20.
-co string Selects a color database. The default is
-f num Sets the bell volume to the specified number (0-100). The default is 50.
-fc string Sets the default cursor font. The default is
-fn string Sets the default text font. The default is
-fp string Sets the default font directory path. The default font directories are:
+fp path[,path...] Prepends the specified font path(s) to the default path.
fp+ path[,path...] Appends the specified font path(s) to the default path.
-help Displays the server usage message.
-I Directs the server to ignore all remaining command line arguments.
-logo Enables the X logo screen saver.
nologo Disables the X logo screen saver.
-p seconds Determines how long to wait before changing the background pattern of the screen saver. The default is 10 seconds.
-r Turns off automatic repetition of keyboard key characters.
r Turns on automatic repetition of keyboard key characters. The default is on.
-s seconds Sets the screen saver timeout value to the specified number of seconds. The default is 10.
-su Disables Save-Unders.
-t num Sets the mouse threshold in pixels. The mouse will accelerate only if the threshold is exceeded. The default thresh-
old is 4.
-to seconds Specifies the number of seconds for the server to wait before declaring a session connection timed out.
ttyxx Specifies the terminal on which the server should start.
v Specifies that a blank screen is used for the screen saver. This is the default screen saver.
-v Specifies that a pattern (noblank) screen is used for the screen saver.
-wm Enables the use of Backing Store with WhenMapped calls.
-x string Loads the file string containing an X extension.
:num On a multihead system, specifies the head on which the server is run (0 or 1). The default is 0.
The following are device-dependent, vendor-specific options.
-bp color Sets the color of black pixels. The color argument may be a named color from the database or a number sign (#) fol-
lowed by a hexidecimal number.
-btn num Specifies the number of buttons on the pointer device. The default is three for a mouse device and four for a tablet
device.
-class visual class
Sets the visual class for the root window. Possible values are and (24-plane displays only).
-dpi num Sets the dots per inch for the x and y coordinates.
-dpix num Sets the dots per inch for the x coordinates.
-dpiy num Sets the dots per inch for the y coordinates.
-wp color Sets the color of white pixels. The syntax for color is the same as for the argument to the -bp flag.
Restrictions
If options not listed in this reference page are used, the server may fail. Using invalid options for the X server in the file may cause
the workstation to behave as if the X server is hung.
