 .SH NAME
 Xserver \- X Window System display server
 .SH SYNOPSIS
 .B X
 [option ...]
 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .I X
 is the generic name for the X Window System display server.  It is
 frequently a link or a copy of the appropriate server binary for
 driving the most frequently used server on a given machine.
 .SH "STARTING THE SERVER"
 The X server is usually started from the X Display Manager program
 \fIxdm\fP(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.
 .PP
 Installations that run more than one window system may need to use the
 \fIxinit\fP(1) utility instead of a display manager.  However, \fIxinit\fP is
 to be considered a tool for building startup scripts and is not
 intended for use by end users.  Site administrators are \fBstrongly\fP
 urged to use a display manager, or build other interfaces for novice users.
 .PP
 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. \fI/dev/mouse\fP) is restricted.  Where applicable, the
 X server notifies systemd when it is ready to process requests.
 .PP
 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.
 .SH 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.
 .PP
 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 provided via the command line options
 should override values specified via other mechanisms.
 .TP 8
 .B :\fIdisplaynumber\fP
 The X server runs as the given \fIdisplaynumber\fP, which 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 \fIX\fP(@miscmansuffix@) manual page to learn how to
 specify which display number clients should try to use.
 .TP 8
 .B \-a \fInumber\fP
 sets pointer acceleration (i.e. the ratio of how much is reported to how much
 the user actually moved the pointer).
 .TP 8
 .B \-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.
 .TP 8
 .B \-audit \fIlevel\fP
 sets the audit trail level.  The default level is 1, meaning only connection
 rejections are reported.  Level 2 additionally reports all successful
 connections and disconnects.  Level 4 enables messages from the
 SECURITY extension, if present, including generation and revocation of
 authorizations and violations of the security policy.
 Level 0 turns off the audit trail.
 Audit lines are sent as standard error output.
 .TP 8
 .B \-auth \fIauthorization-file\fP
 specifies a file which contains a collection of authorization records used
 to authenticate access.  See also the \fIxdm\fP(1) and
 \fIXsecurity\fP(@miscmansuffix@) manual pages.
 .TP 8
 .BI \-background\ none
 Asks the driver not to clear the background on startup, if the driver supports that.
 May be useful for smooth transition with eg. fbdev driver.
 For security reasons this is not the default as the screen contents might
 show a previous user session.
 .TP 8
 .B \-br
 sets the default root window to solid black instead of the standard root weave
 pattern.   This is the default unless -retro or -wr is specified.
 .TP 8
 .B \-bs
 disables backing store support on all screens.
 .TP 8
 .B \-c
 turns off key-click.
 .TP 8
 .B c \fIvolume\fP
 sets key-click volume (allowable range: 0-100).
 .TP 8
 .B \-cc \fIclass\fP
 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.
 .TP 8
 .B \-core
 causes the server to generate a core dump on fatal errors.
 .TP 8
 .B \-displayfd \fIfd\fP
 specifies a file descriptor in the launching process.  Rather than specify
 a display number, the X server will attempt to listen on successively higher
 display numbers, and upon finding a free one, will write the display number back
 on this file descriptor as a newline-terminated string.  The \-pn option is
 ignored when using \-displayfd.
 .TP 8
 .B \-deferglyphs \fIwhichfonts\fP
 specifies the types of fonts for which the server should attempt to use
 deferred glyph loading.  \fIwhichfonts\fP can be all (all fonts),
 none (no fonts), or 16 (16 bit fonts only).
 .TP 8
 .B \-dpi \fIresolution\fP
 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.
 .TP 8
 .B dpms
 enables DPMS (display power management services), where supported.  The
 default state is platform and configuration specific.
 .TP 8
 .B \-dpms
 disables DPMS (display power management services).  The default state
 is platform and configuration specific.
 .TP 8
 .BI \-extension extensionName
 disables named extension.   If an unknown extension name is specified,
 a list of accepted extension names is printed.
 .TP 8
 .BI +extension extensionName
 enables named extension.   If an unknown extension name is specified,
 a list of accepted extension names is printed.
 .TP 8
 .B \-f \fIvolume\fP
 sets beep (bell) volume (allowable range: 0-100).
 .TP 8
 .B \-fakescreenfps \fFps\fP
 sets fake presenter screen default fps (allowable range: 1-600).
 .TP 8
 .B \-fp \fIfontPath\fP
 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.
 .TP 8
 .B \-help
 prints a usage message.
 .TP 8
 .B \-I
 causes all remaining command line arguments to be ignored.
 .TP 8
 .B \-iglx
 Prohibit creating indirect GLX contexts.  Indirect GLX is of limited use,
 since it lacks support for many modern OpenGL features and extensions;
 it's slower than direct contexts; and it opens a large attack surface for
 protocol parsing errors.
 This is the default unless +iglx is specified.
 .TP 8
 .B +iglx
 Allow creating indirect GLX contexts.
 .TP 8
 .B \-maxbigreqsize \fIsize\fP
 sets the maximum big request to
 .I size
 MB.
 .TP 8
 .B \-nocursor
 disable the display of the pointer cursor.
 .TP 8
 .B \-nolisten \fItrans-type\fP
 disables a transport type.  For example, TCP/IP connections can be disabled
 with
 .BR "\-nolisten tcp" .
 This option may be issued multiple times to disable listening to different
 transport types.
 Supported transport types are platform dependent, but commonly include:
 .TS
 l l.
 tcp     TCP over IPv4 or IPv6
 inet    TCP over IPv4 only
 inet6   TCP over IPv6 only
 unix    UNIX Domain Sockets
 local   Platform preferred local connection method
 .TE
 .TP 8
 .B \-listen \fItrans-type\fP
 enables a transport type.  For example, TCP/IP connections can be enabled
 with
 .BR "\-listen tcp" .
 This option may be issued multiple times to enable listening to different
 transport types.
 .TP 8
 .B \-noreset
 prevents a server reset when the last client connection is closed.  This
 overrides a previous
 .B \-terminate
 command line option.
 .TP 8
 .B \-p \fIminutes\fP
 sets screen-saver pattern cycle time in minutes.
 .TP 8
 .B \-pn
 permits the server to continue running if it fails to establish all of
 its well-known sockets (connection points for clients), but
 establishes at least one.  This option is set by default.
 .TP 8
 .B \-nopn
 causes the server to exit if it fails to establish all of its well-known
 sockets (connection points for clients).
 .TP 8
 .B \-r
 turns off auto-repeat.
 .TP 8
 .B r
 turns on auto-repeat.
 .TP 8
 .B -retro
 starts the server with the classic stipple and cursor visible.  The default
 is to start with a black root window, and to suppress display of the cursor
 until the first time an application calls XDefineCursor(). For kdrive
 servers, this implies -zap.
 .TP 8
 .B \-s \fIminutes\fP
 sets screen-saver timeout time in minutes.
 .TP 8
 .B \-su
 disables save under support on all screens.
 .TP 8
 .B \-seat \fIseat\fP
 seat to run on. Takes a string identifying a seat in a platform
 specific syntax. On platforms which support this feature this may be
 used to limit the server to expose only a specific subset of devices
 connected to the system.
 .TP 8
 .B \-t \fInumber\fP
 sets pointer acceleration threshold in pixels (i.e. after how many pixels
 pointer acceleration should take effect).
 .TP 8
 .B \-terminate \fI[delay]\fP
 causes the server to terminate at server reset, instead of continuing to run.
 This overrides a previous
 .B \-noreset
 command line option.
 If a delay in seconds is specified, the server waits for at least
 the delay. At the end of this grace period if no client is
 connected, the server terminates immediately.
 .TP 8
 .B \-tst
 disables all testing extensions (e.g., XTEST, XTrap, XTestExtension1, RECORD).
 .TP 8
 .B tty\fIxx\fP
 ignored, for servers started the ancient way (from init).
 .TP 8
 .B v
 sets video-off screen-saver preference.
 .TP 8
 .B \-v
 sets video-on screen-saver preference.
 .TP 8
 .B \-wr
 sets the default root window to solid white instead of the standard root weave
 pattern.
 .TP 8
 .B \-x \fIextension\fP
 loads the specified extension at init.
 This is a no-op for most implementations.
 .TP 8
 .B [+-]xinerama
 enables(+) or disables(-) the XINERAMA extension.  The default state is
 platform and configuration specific.
 .SH SERVER DEPENDENT OPTIONS
 Some X servers accept the following options:
 .TP 8
 .B \-ld \fIkilobytes\fP
 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.
 .TP 8
 .B \-lf \fIfiles\fP
 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.
 .TP 8
 .B \-ls \fIkilobytes\fP
 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.
 .TP 8
 .B \-maxclients
 .BR 64 | 128 | 256 | 512
 Set the maximum number of clients allowed to connect to the X server.
 Acceptable values are 64, 128, 256 or 512.
 .TP 8
 .B \-render
 .BR default | mono | gray | color
 sets the color allocation policy that will be used by the render extension.
 .RS 8
 .TP 8
 .I default
 selects the default policy defined for the display depth of the X
 server.
 .TP 8
 .I mono
 don't use any color cell.
 .TP 8
 .I gray
 use a gray map of 13 color cells for the X render extension.
 .TP 8
 .I color
 use a color cube of at most 4*4*4 colors (that is 64 color cells).
 .RE
 .TP 8
 .B \-dumbSched
 disables smart scheduling on platforms that support the smart scheduler.
 .TP
 .B \-schedInterval \fIinterval\fP
 sets the smart scheduler's scheduling interval to
 .I interval
 milliseconds.
 .SH XDMCP OPTIONS
 X servers that support XDMCP have the following options.
 See the \fIX Display Manager Control Protocol\fP specification for more
 information.
 .TP 8
 .B \-query \fIhostname\fP
 enables XDMCP and sends Query packets to the specified
 .IR hostname .
 .TP 8
 .B \-broadcast
 enable XDMCP and broadcasts BroadcastQuery packets to the network.  The
 first responding display manager will be chosen for the session.
 .TP 8
 .B \-multicast [\fIaddress\fP [\fIhop count\fP]]
 Enable XDMCP and multicast BroadcastQuery packets to the  network.
 The first responding display manager is chosen for the session.  If an
 address is specified, 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.
 .TP 8
 .B \-indirect \fIhostname\fP
 enables XDMCP and send IndirectQuery packets to the specified
 .IR hostname .
 .TP 8
 .B \-port \fIport-number\fP
 uses the specified \fIport-number\fP for XDMCP packets, instead of the
 default.  This option must be specified before any \-query, \-broadcast,
 \-multicast, or \-indirect options.
 .TP 8
 .B \-from \fIlocal-address\fP
 specifies the local address to connect from (useful if the connecting host
 has multiple network interfaces).  The \fIlocal-address\fP may be expressed
 in any form acceptable to the host platform's \fIgethostbyname\fP(3)
 implementation.
 .TP 8
 .B \-once
 causes the server to terminate (rather than reset) when the XDMCP session
 ends.
 .TP 8
 .B \-class \fIdisplay-class\fP
 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).
 .TP 8
 .B \-cookie \fIxdm-auth-bits\fP
 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!).
 .TP 8
 .B \-displayID \fIdisplay-id\fP
 Yet another XDMCP specific value, this one allows the display manager to
 identify each display so that it can locate the shared key.
 .SH XKEYBOARD OPTIONS
 X servers that support the XKEYBOARD (a.k.a. \*qXKB\*q) extension accept the
 following options.  All layout files specified 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
 .IR @projectroot@/lib/X11/xkb .
 .TP 8
 .BR [+-]accessx " [ \fItimeout\fP [ \fItimeout_mask\fP [ \fIfeedback\fP [ \fIoptions_mask\fP ] ] ] ]"
 enables(+) or disables(-) AccessX key sequences.
 .TP 8
 .B \-xkbdir \fIdirectory\fP
 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 different).
 .TP 8
 .B \-ardelay \fImilliseconds\fP
 sets the autorepeat delay (length of time in milliseconds that a key must
 be depressed before autorepeat starts).
 .TP 8
 .B \-arinterval \fImilliseconds\fP
 sets the autorepeat interval (length of time in milliseconds that should
 elapse between autorepeat-generated keystrokes).
 .TP 8
 .B \-xkbmap \fIfilename\fP
 loads keyboard description in \fIfilename\fP on server startup.
 .SH "NETWORK CONNECTIONS"
 The X server supports client connections via a platform-dependent subset of
 the following transport types: TCP/IP, Unix Domain sockets,
 and several varieties of SVR4 local connections.  See the DISPLAY
 NAMES section of the \fIX\fP(@miscmansuffix@) manual page to learn how to
 specify which transport type clients should try to use.
 .SH 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-KERBEROS-5.  See the
 \fIXsecurity\fP(@miscmansuffix@) manual page for information on the
 operation of these protocols.
 .PP
 Authorization data required by the above protocols is passed to the
 server in a private file named with the \fB\-auth\fP command line
 option.  Each time the server is about to accept the first connection
 after a reset (or when the server is starting), it reads this file.
 If this file contains any authorization 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
 connection setup information will be allowed access.  See the
 \fIXau\fP manual page for a description of the binary format of this
 file.  See \fIxauth\fP(1) for maintenance of this file, and distribution
 of its contents to remote hosts.
 .PP
 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 \fI/etc/X\fBn\fI.hosts\fR, where
 \fBn\fP 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 complete name in the format
 \fIfamily\fP:\fIname\fP as described in the \fIxhost\fP(1) manual page.
 There should be no leading or trailing spaces on any lines.  For example:
 .sp
 .in +8
 .nf
 joesworkstation
 corporate.company.com
 inet:bigcpu
 local:
 .fi
 .in -8
 .PP
 Users can add or remove hosts from this list and enable or disable access
 control using the \fIxhost\fP command from the same machine as the server.
 .PP
 If the X FireWall Proxy (\fIxfwp\fP) 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 \fIxfwp\fP.  If \fIxfwp\fP is run without
 a configuration file and thus no sitepolicy is defined, if \fIxfwp\fP
 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 \fIxfwp\fP, the X server will deny the connection.  See \fIxfwp\fP(1)
 for more information about this proxy.
 .PP
 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, it has full run of the screen.
 X servers that support the SECURITY extension fare better because clients
 can be designated untrusted via the authorization they use to connect; see
 the \fIxauth\fP(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 complete list of these restrictions.
 .PP
 Sites that have better
 authentication and authorization systems might wish to make
 use of the hooks in the libraries and the server to provide additional
 security models.
 .SH SIGNALS
 The X server attaches special meaning to the following signals:
 .TP 8
 .I 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
 whenever the main user's main application (usually an \fIxterm\fP or window
 manager) exits to force the server to clean up and prepare for the next
 user.
 .TP 8
 .I SIGTERM
 This signal causes the server to exit cleanly.
 .TP 8
 .I 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.
 \fIXdm\fP uses this feature to recognize when connecting to the server
 is possible.
 .SH 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 \fIfont path\fP.
 .LP
 The default font path is
 @default_font_path@ .
 .LP
 A special kind of directory can be specified using the \fBcatalogue\fP:
 prefix. Directories specified this way can contain symlinks pointing to the
 real font directories. See the FONTPATH.D section for details.
 .LP
 The font path can be set with the \fB\-fp\fP option or by \fIxset\fP(1)
 after the server has started.
 .SH "FONTPATH.D"
 You can specify a special kind of font path in the form \fBcatalogue:<dir>\fR.
 The directory specified after the catalogue: prefix will be scanned for symlinks
 and each symlink destination will be added as a local fontfile FPE.
 .PP
 The symlink can be suffixed by attributes such as '\fBunscaled\fR', which
 will be passed through to the underlying fontfile FPE. The only exception is
 the newly introduced '\fBpri\fR' attribute, which will be used for ordering
 the font paths specified by the symlinks.
 
 An example configuration:
 
 .nf
     75dpi:unscaled:pri=20 \-> /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi
     ghostscript:pri=60 \-> /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript
     misc:unscaled:pri=10 \-> /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc
     type1:pri=40 \-> /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1
     type1:pri=50 \-> /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1
 .fi
 
 This will add /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc as the first FPE with the attribute
 \N'39'unscaled', second FPE will be /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi, also with
 the attribute 'unscaled' etc. This is functionally equivalent to setting
 the following font path:
 
 .nf
     /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
     /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
     /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1,
     /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1,
     /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript
 .fi

 .SH AUTHORS
 The sample server was originally written by Susan Angebranndt, Raymond
 Drewry, Philip Karlton, and Todd Newman, from Digital Equipment
 Corporation, with support from a large cast.  It has since been
 extensively rewritten by Keith Packard and Bob Scheifler, from MIT.
 Dave Wiggins took over post-R5 and made substantial improvements.
