NAME

     Xserver - X Window System display server

SYNOPSIS

     X [option ...]

DESCRIPTION

     X is the generic name for the X Window System display
     server.  It is frequently a link or a copy of the appropri-
     ate server binary for driving the most frequently used
     server on a given machine.

STARTING THE SERVER

     The X server is usually started from the X Display Manager
     program xdm(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.

     Installations that run more than one window system may need
     to use the xinit(1) utility instead of a display manager.
     However, xinit is to be considered a tool for building
     startup scripts and is not intended for use by end users.
     Site administrators are strongly urged to use a display
     manager, or build other interfaces for novice users.

     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. /dev/mouse) is
     restricted.

     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.

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.

     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 pro-
     vided via the command line options should override values
     specified via other mechanisms.

     :displaynumber
	     The X server runs as the given displaynumber, which

XFree86			  Version 4.5.0				1

XSERVER(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	       XSERVER(1)

	     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 X(7) manual page to learn how to specify which
	     display number clients should try to use.

     -a number
	     sets pointer acceleration (i.e. the ratio of how
	     much is reported to how much the user actually moved
	     the pointer).

     -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.

     -audit level
	     sets the audit trail level.  The default level is 1,
	     meaning only connection rejections are reported.
	     Level 2 additionally reports all successful connec-
	     tions and disconnects.  Level 4 enables messages
	     from the SECURITY extension, if present, including
	     generation and revocation of authorizations and vio-
	     lations of the security policy. Level 0 turns off
	     the audit trail. Audit lines are sent as standard
	     error output.

     -auth authorization-file
	     specifies a file which contains a collection of
	     authorization records used to authenticate access.
	     See also the xdm(1) and Xsecurity(7) manual pages.

     bc	     disables certain kinds of error checking, for bug
	     compatibility with previous releases (e.g., to work
	     around bugs in R2 and R3 xterms and toolkits).
	     Deprecated.

     -bs     disables backing store support on all screens.

     -br     sets the default root window to solid black instead
	     of the standard root weave pattern.

     -c	     turns off key-click.

     c volume
	     sets key-click volume (allowable range: 0-100).

     -cc class
	     sets the visual class for the root window of color
	     screens. The class numbers are as specified in the X
	     protocol. Not obeyed by all servers.

XSERVER(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	       XSERVER(1)

     -co filename
	     sets name of RGB color database.  The default is
	     /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.

     -core   causes the server to generate a core dump on fatal
	     errors.

     -deferglyphs whichfonts
	     specifies the types of fonts for which the server
	     should attempt to use deferred glyph loading.  whi-
	     chfonts can be all (all fonts), none (no fonts), or
	     16 (16 bit fonts only).

     -dpi resolution
	     sets the resolution for all screens, in dots per
	     inch. To be used when the server cannot determine
	     the screen size(s) from the hardware.

     dpms    enables DPMS (display power management services),
	     where supported.  The default state is platform and
	     configuration specific.

     -dpms   disables DPMS (display power management services).
	     The default state is platform and configuration
	     specific.

     -f volume
	     sets feep (bell) volume (allowable range: 0-100).

     -fc cursorFont
	     sets default cursor font.

     -fn font
	     sets the default font.

     -fp fontPath
	     sets the search path for fonts.  This path is a
	     comma separated list of directories which the X
	     server searches for font databases. See the FONTS
	     section of this manual page for more information and
	     the default list.

     -help   prints a usage message.

     -I	     causes all remaining command line arguments to be
	     ignored.

     -maxbigreqsize size
	     sets the maxmium big request to size MB.

     -nolisten trans-type
	     disables a transport type.	 For example, TCP/IP

XFree86			  Version 4.5.0				3

XSERVER(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	       XSERVER(1)

	     connections can be disabled with -nolisten tcp. This
	     option may be issued multiple times to disable
	     listening to different transport types.

     -noreset
	     prevents a server reset when the last client connec-
	     tion is closed.  This overrides a previous -ter-
	     minate command line option.

     -p minutes
	     sets screen-saver pattern cycle time in minutes.

     -pn     permits the server to continue running if it fails
	     to establish all of its well-known sockets (connec-
	     tion points for clients), but establishes at least
	     one.  This option is set by default.

     -nopn   causes the server to exit if it fails to establish
	     all of its well-known sockets (connection points for
	     clients).

     -r	     turns off auto-repeat.

     r	     turns on auto-repeat.

     -s minutes
	     sets screen-saver timeout time in minutes.

     -su     disables save under support on all screens.

     -t number
	     sets pointer acceleration threshold in pixels (i.e.
	     after how many pixels pointer acceleration should
	     take effect).

     -terminate
	     causes the server to terminate at server reset,
	     instead of continuing to run. This overrides a pre-
	     vious -noreset command line option.

     -to seconds
	     sets default connection timeout in seconds.

     -tst    disables all testing extensions (e.g., XTEST, XTrap,
	     XTestExtension1, RECORD).

     ttyxx   ignored, for servers started the ancient way (from
	     init).

     v	     sets video-off screen-saver preference.

     -v	     sets video-on screen-saver preference.

XSERVER(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	       XSERVER(1)

     -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.

     -x extension
	     loads the specified extension at init. This is a
	     no-op for most implementations.

     [+-]xinerama
	     enables(+) or disables(-) the XINERAMA extension.
	     The default state is platform and configuration
	     specific.

SERVER DEPENDENT OPTIONS

     Some X servers accept the following options:

     -ld kilobytes
	     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.

     -lf files
	     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.

     -ls kilobytes
	     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.

     -logo   turns on the X Window System logo display in the
	     screen-saver. There is currently no way to change
	     this from a client.

     nologo  turns off the X Window System logo display in the
	     screen-saver. There is currently no way to change
	     this from a client.

     -render default|mono|gray| sets the color allocation policy

XFree86			  Version 4.5.0				5

XSERVER(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	       XSERVER(1)

	     that will be used by the render extension.

	     default selects the default policy defined for the
		     display depth of the X server.

	     mono    don't use any color cell.

	     gray    use a gray map of 13 color cells for the X
		     render extension.

	     color   use a color cube of at most 4*4*4 colors
		     (that is 64 color cells).

     -dumbSched
	     disables smart scheduling on platforms that support
	     the smart scheduler.

     -schedInterval interval
	     sets the smart scheduler's scheduling interval to
	     interval milliseconds.

XDMCP OPTIONS

     X servers that support XDMCP have the following options. See
     the X Display Manager Control Protocol specification for
     more information.

     -query hostname
	     enables XDMCP and sends Query packets to the speci-
	     fied hostname.

     -broadcast
	     enable XDMCP and broadcasts BroadcastQuery packets
	     to the network.  The first responding display
	     manager will be chosen for the session.

     -multicast [address [hop count]]
	     Enable XDMCP and multicast BroadcastQuery packets to
	     the  network. The first responding display manager
	     is chosen for the session.	 If an address is speci-
	     fied, 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.

     -indirect hostname
	     enables XDMCP and send IndirectQuery packets to the
	     specified hostname.

XFree86			  Version 4.5.0				6

XSERVER(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	       XSERVER(1)

     -port port-number
	     uses the specified port-number for XDMCP packets,
	     instead of the default.  This option must be speci-
	     fied before any -query, -broadcast, -multicast, or
	     -indirect options.

     -from local-address
	     specifies the local address to connect from (useful
	     if the connecting host has multiple network inter-
	     faces).  The local-address may be expressed in any
	     form acceptable to the host platform's gethost-
	     byname(3) implementation.

     -once   causes the server to terminate (rather than reset)
	     when the XDMCP session ends.

     -class display-class
	     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).

     -cookie xdm-auth-bits
	     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!).

     -displayID display-id
	     Yet another XDMCP specific value, this one allows
	     the display manager to identify each display so that
	     it can locate the shared key.

XKEYBOARD OPTIONS

     X servers that support the XKEYBOARD (a.k.a. "XKB") exten-
     sion accept the following options.	 All layout files speci-
     fied 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 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb.

     [+-]kb  enables(+) or disables(-) the XKEYBOARD extension.

] ] ]
     [+-
	     ]accessx [ timeout [ timeout_mask [ feedback [ options_mask ]
	     enables(+) or disables(-) AccessX key sequences.

     -xkbdir directory
	     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

XFree86			  Version 4.5.0				7

XSERVER(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	       XSERVER(1)

	     different).

     -ar1 milliseconds
	     sets the autorepeat delay (length of time in mil-
	     liseconds that a key must be depressed before
	     autorepeat starts).

     -ar2 milliseconds
	     sets the autorepeat interval (length of time in mil-
	     liseconds that should elapse between autorepeat-
	     generated keystrokes).

     -noloadxkb
	     disables loading of an XKB keymap description on
	     server startup.

     -xkbdb filename
	     uses filename for default keyboard keymaps.

     -xkbmap filename
	     loads keyboard description in filename on server
	     startup.

SECURITY EXTENSION OPTIONS

     X servers that support the SECURITY extension accept the
     following option:

     -sp filename
	     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 as follows. Nota-
     tion: "*" means zero or more occurrences of the preceding
     element, and "+" means one or more occurrences.  To inter-
     pret <foo/bar>, ignore the text after the /; it is used to
     distinguish between instances of <foo> in the next section.

     <policy file> ::= <version line> <other line>*

     <version line> ::= <string/v> '\n'

     <other line > ::= <comment> | <access rule> | <site policy> | <blank line>

     <comment> ::= # <not newline>* '\n'

     <blank line> ::= <space> '\n'

     <site policy> ::= sitepolicy <string/sp> '\n'

     <access rule> ::= property <property/ar> <window> <perms> '\n'

XFree86			  Version 4.5.0				8

XSERVER(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	       XSERVER(1)

     <property> ::= <string>

     <window> ::= any | root | <required property>

     <required property> ::= <property/rp> | <property with value>

     <property with value> ::= <property/rpv> = <string/rv>

     <perms> ::= [ <operation> | <action> | <space> ]*

     <operation> ::= r | w | d

     <action> ::= a | i | e

     <string> ::= <dbl quoted string> | <single quoted string> | <unqouted string>

     <dbl quoted string> ::= <space> " <not dqoute>* " <space>

     <single quoted string> ::= <space> ' <not squote>* ' <space>

     <unquoted string> ::= <space> <not space>+ <space>

     <space> ::= [ ' ' | '\t' ]*

     Character sets:

     <not newline> ::= any character except '\n'
     <not dqoute>  ::= any character except "
     <not squote>  ::= any character except '
     <not space>   ::= any character except those in <space>

     The semantics associated with the above syntax are as fol-
     lows.

     <version line>, the first line in the file, specifies the
     file format version.  If the server does not recognize the
     version <string/v>, it ignores the rest of the file.  The
     version string for the file format described here is
     "version-1" .

     Once past the <version line>, lines that do not match the
     above syntax are ignored.

     <comment> lines are ignored.

     <sitepolicy> lines are currently ignored.	They are intended
     to specify the site policies used by the XC-QUERY-SECURITY-1
     authorization method.

     <access rule> lines specify how the server should react to
     untrusted client requests that affect the X Window property
     named <property/ar>. The rest of this section describes the

XFree86			  Version 4.5.0				9

XSERVER(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	       XSERVER(1)

     interpretation of an <access rule>.

     For an <access rule> to apply to a given instance of
     <property/ar>, <property/ar> must be on a window that is in
     the set of windows specified by <window>.	If <window> is
     any, the rule applies to <property/ar> on any window.  If
     <window> is root, the rule applies to <property/ar> only on
     root windows.

     If <window> is <required property>, the following apply.  If
     <required property> is a <property/rp>, the rule applies
     when the window also has that <property/rp>, regardless of
     its value.	 If <required property> is a <property with
     value>, <property/rpv> must also have the value specified by
     <string/rv>.  In this case, the property must have type
     STRING and format 8, and should contain one or more null-
     terminated strings.  If any of the strings match
     <string/rv>, the rule applies.

     The definition of string matching is simple case-sensitive
     string comparison with one elaboration: the occurrence of
     the character '*' in <string/rv> is a wildcard meaning "any
     string."  A <string/rv> can contain multiple wildcards any-
     where in the string.  For example, "x*" matches strings that
     begin with x, "*x" matches strings that end with x, "*x*"
     matches strings containing x, and "x*y*" matches strings
     that start with x and subsequently contain y.

     There may be multiple <access rule> lines for a given
     <property/ar>. The rules are tested in the order that they
     appear in the file.  The first rule that applies is used.

     <perms> specify operations that untrusted clients may
     attempt, and the actions that the server should take in
     response to those operations.

     <operation> can be r (read), w (write), or d (delete).  The
     following table shows how X Protocol property requests map
     to these operations in The Open Group server implementation.

     GetProperty    r, or r and d if delete = True
     ChangeProperty w
     RotateProperties	 r and w
     DeleteProperty d
     ListProperties none, untrusted clients can always list all properties

     <action> can be a (allow), i (ignore), or e (error).  Allow
     means execute the request as if it had been issued by a
     trusted client. Ignore means treat the request as a no-op.
     In the case of GetProperty, ignore means return an empty
     property value if the property exists, regardless of its
     actual value.  Error means do not execute the request and

XFree86			  Version 4.5.0			       10

XSERVER(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	       XSERVER(1)

     return a BadAtom error with the atom set to the property
     name.  Error is the default action for all properties,
     including those not listed in the security policy file.

     An <action> applies to all <operation>s that follow it,
     until the next <action> is encountered.  Thus, irwad  means
     ignore read and write, allow delete.

     GetProperty and RotateProperties may do multiple operations
     (r and d, or r and w).  If different actions apply to the
     operations, the most severe action is applied to the whole
     request; there is no partial request execution.  The sever-
     ity ordering is: allow < ignore < error. Thus, if the
     <perms> for a property are ired (ignore read, error delete),
     and an untrusted client attempts GetProperty on that pro-
     perty with delete = True, an error is returned, but the pro-
     perty value is not.  Similarly, if any of the properties in
     a RotateProperties do not allow both read and write, an
     error is returned without changing any property values.

     Here is an example security policy file.

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
     X(7) manual page to learn how to specify which transport
     type clients should try to use.

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-

XFree86			  Version 4.5.0			       12

XSERVER(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	       XSERVER(1)

     KERBEROS-5.  See the Xsecurity(7) manual page for informa-
     tion on the operation of these protocols.

     Authorization data required by the above protocols is passed
     to the server in a private file named with the -auth command
     line option.  Each time the server is about to accept the
     first connection after a reset (or when the server is start-
     ing), it reads this file. If this file contains any authori-
     zation 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 connec-
     tion setup information will be allowed access.  See the Xau
     manual page for a description of the binary format of this
     file.  See xauth(1) for maintenance of this file, and dis-
     tribution of its contents to remote hosts.

     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 /etc/Xn.hosts, where n 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 host-
     name in double colon format (e.g. hydra::) or a complete
     name in the format family:name as described in the xhost(1)
     manual page. There should be no leading or trailing spaces
     on any lines.  For example:

	     joesworkstation
	     corporate.company.com
	     star::
	     inet:bigcpu
	     local:

     Users can add or remove hosts from this list and enable or
     disable access control using the xhost command from the same
     machine as the server.

     If the X FireWall Proxy (xfwp) 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 xfwp.
     If xfwp is run without a configuration file and thus no
     sitepolicy is defined, if xfwp 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
     xfwp, the X server will deny the connection.  See xfwp(1)
     for more information about this proxy.

     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,

XFree86			  Version 4.5.0			       13

XSERVER(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	       XSERVER(1)

     it has full run of the screen. X servers that support the
     SECURITY extension fare better because clients can be desig-
     nated untrusted via the authorization they use to connect;
     see the xauth(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 com-
     plete list of these restrictions.

     Sites that have better authentication and authorization sys-
     tems might wish to make use of the hooks in the libraries
     and the server to provide additional security models.

SIGNALS

     The X server attaches special meaning to the following sig-
     nals:

     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 when-
	     ever the main user's main application (usually an
	     xterm or window manager) exits to force the server
	     to clean up and prepare for the next user.

     SIGTERM This signal causes the server to exit cleanly.

     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. Xdm uses this
	     feature to recognize when connecting to the server
	     is possible.

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
     font path.

     The default font path is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,
     /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/,
     /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,
     /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,
     /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/,
     /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,
     /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/ .

     The font path can be set with the -fp option or by xset(1)
     after the server has started.
