Browse Source 
These settings affect clients, not server, so belong there, next to
the information about how to set $DISPLAY.

.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
For operating systems that support local connections other than Unix
Domain sockets (SVR3 and SVR4), there is a compiled-in list specifying
the order in which local connections should be attempted. This list
can be overridden by the
.I XLOCAL
environment variable described below. If the display name indicates a
best-choice connection should be made (e.g.
.BR :0.0 ),
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
.BR unix:0.0 .

select a single mechanism (e.g.

or an ordered list (e.g. \fIXLOCAL="NAMED:PTS:SCO"\fP).
his variable overrides the compiled-in defaults. For SVR4 it is
recommended that
.I NAMED
be the first preference connection. The default setting is
.IR PTS:NAMED:ISC:SCO .

To globally override the compiled-in defaults, you should define (and
export if using
.B sh

.BR ksh )
.I XLOCAL
globally. If you use startx(1) or xinit(1), the definition should be
at the top of your
.I .xinitrc
file. If you use xdm(1), the definitions should be early on in the
.I __projectroot__/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession
script.
