Excerpt from http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2011-March/020481.html: The Xorg & xorg.conf substitutions are leftover from the transitional period where some distros were building our sources with the XFree86 and XF86config names until they had time to adjust the rest of their packages/installer/config code to the new names. This will fix inconsistencies and prevent the creation of new unneeded sed patterns.

.SH NAME
|
|
Xorg - X11R7 X server
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
.RI [\fB:\fP display ]
|
|
.RI [ option
|
|
.IR ... ]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
is a full featured X server that was originally designed for UNIX and
|
|
UNIX-like operating systems running on Intel x86 hardware. It now runs
|
|
on a wider range of hardware and OS platforms.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This work was derived by the X.Org Foundation from the XFree86 Project's
|
|
.I "XFree86\ 4.4rc2"
|
|
release.
|
|
The XFree86 release was originally derived from
|
|
.I "X386\ 1.2"
|
|
by Thomas Roell which was contributed to X11R5 by Snitily Graphics
|
|
Consulting Service.
|
|
.SH PLATFORMS
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
operates under a wide range of operating systems and hardware platforms.
|
|
The Intel x86 (IA32) architecture is the most widely supported hardware
|
|
platform. Other hardware platforms include Compaq Alpha, Intel IA64, AMD64,
|
|
SPARC and PowerPC. The most widely supported operating systems are the
|
|
free/OpenSource UNIX-like systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
|
|
OpenBSD, and Solaris. Commercial UNIX operating systems such as
|
|
UnixWare are also supported. Other supported operating systems include
|
|
GNU Hurd. Mac OS X is supported with the
|
|
Xquartz(__appmansuffix__) X server. Win32/Cygwin is supported with the
|
|
XWin(__appmansuffix__) X server.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.SH "NETWORK CONNECTIONS"
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
supports connections made using the following reliable
|
|
byte-streams:
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.I "Local"
|
|
On most platforms, the "Local" connection type is a UNIX-domain socket.
|
|
On some System V platforms, the "local" connection types also include
|
|
STREAMS pipes, named pipes, and some other mechanisms.
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.I TCP\/IP
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
listens on port
|
|
.RI 6000+ n ,
|
|
where
|
|
.I n
|
|
is the display number. This connection type can be disabled with the
|
|
.B \-nolisten
|
|
option (see the Xserver(1) man page for details).
|
|
.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 .
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.I XLOCAL
|
|
environment variable should contain a list of one more
|
|
more of the following:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS 8
|
|
.nf
|
|
NAMED
|
|
PTS
|
|
SCO
|
|
ISC
|
|
.fi
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
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.
|
|
.IR XLOCAL=NAMED ),
|
|
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 .
|
|
.PP
|
|
To globally override the compiled-in defaults, you should define (and
|
|
export if using
|
|
.B sh
|
|
or
|
|
.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.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
supports several mechanisms for supplying/obtaining configuration and
|
|
run-time parameters: command line options, environment variables, the
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) configuration files, auto-detection, and
|
|
fallback defaults. When the same information is supplied in more than
|
|
one way, the highest precedence mechanism is used. The list of mechanisms
|
|
is ordered from highest precedence to lowest. Note that not all parameters
|
|
can be supplied via all methods. The available command line options
|
|
and environment variables (and some defaults) are described here and in
|
|
the Xserver(__appmansuffix__) manual page. Most configuration file
|
|
parameters, with their defaults, are described in the
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) manual page. Driver and module specific
|
|
configuration parameters are described in the relevant driver or module
|
|
manual page.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In addition to the normal server options described in the
|
|
Xserver(__appmansuffix__) manual page,
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
accepts the following command line switches:
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI vt XX
|
|
.I XX
|
|
specifies the Virtual Terminal device number which
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
will use. Without this option,
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
will pick the first available Virtual Terminal that it can locate. This
|
|
option applies only to platforms that have virtual terminal support, such
|
|
as Linux, BSD, OpenSolaris, SVR3, and SVR4.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-allowMouseOpenFail
|
|
Allow the server to start up even if the mouse device can't be opened
|
|
or initialised. This is equivalent to the
|
|
.B AllowMouseOpenFail
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-allowNonLocalXvidtune
|
|
Make the VidMode extension available to remote clients. This allows
|
|
the xvidtune client to connect from another host. This is equivalent
|
|
to the
|
|
.B AllowNonLocalXvidtune
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option. By default non-local
|
|
connections are not allowed.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-bgamma " value"
|
|
Set the blue gamma correction.
|
|
.I value
|
|
must be between 0.1 and 10.
|
|
The default is 1.0. Not all drivers support this. See also the
|
|
.BR \-gamma ,
|
|
.BR \-rgamma ,
|
|
and
|
|
.B \-ggamma
|
|
options.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-bpp " n"
|
|
No longer supported. Use
|
|
.B \-depth
|
|
to set the color depth, and use
|
|
.B \-fbbpp
|
|
if you really need to force a non-default framebuffer (hardware) pixel
|
|
format.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-config " file"
|
|
Read the server configuration from
|
|
.IR file .
|
|
This option will work for any file when the server is run as root (i.e,
|
|
with real-uid 0), or for files relative to a directory in the config
|
|
search path for all other users.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-configdir " directory"
|
|
Read the server configuration files from
|
|
.IR directory .
|
|
This option will work for any directory when the server is run as root
|
|
(i.e, with real-uid 0), or for directories relative to a directory in the
|
|
config directory search path for all other users.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-configure
|
|
When this option is specified, the
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
server loads all video driver modules, probes for available hardware,
|
|
and writes out an initial xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file based on
|
|
what was detected. This option currently has some problems on some
|
|
platforms, but in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the
|
|
configuration process. This option is only available when the server
|
|
is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI "\-crt /dev/tty" XX
|
|
SCO only. This is the same as the
|
|
.B vt
|
|
option, and is provided for compatibility with the native SCO X server.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-depth " n"
|
|
Sets the default color depth. Legal values are 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, and
|
|
24. Not all drivers support all values.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-disableVidMode
|
|
Disable the parts of the VidMode extension (used by the xvidtune
|
|
client) that can be used to change the video modes. This is equivalent
|
|
to the
|
|
.B DisableVidModeExtension
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-fbbpp \fIn\fP
|
|
Sets the number of framebuffer bits per pixel. You should only set this
|
|
if you're sure it's necessary; normally the server can deduce the correct
|
|
value from
|
|
.B \-depth
|
|
above. Useful if you want to run a depth 24 configuration with a 24
|
|
bpp framebuffer rather than the (possibly default) 32 bpp framebuffer
|
|
(or vice versa). Legal values are 1, 8, 16, 24, 32. Not all drivers
|
|
support all values.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-flipPixels
|
|
Swap the default values for the black and white pixels.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-gamma " value"
|
|
Set the gamma correction.
|
|
.I value
|
|
must be between 0.1 and 10. The default is 1.0. This value is applied
|
|
equally to the R, G and B values. Those values can be set independently
|
|
with the
|
|
.BR \-rgamma ,
|
|
.BR \-bgamma ,
|
|
and
|
|
.B \-ggamma
|
|
options. Not all drivers support this.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-ggamma " value"
|
|
Set the green gamma correction.
|
|
.I value
|
|
must be between 0.1 and 10. The default is 1.0. Not all drivers support
|
|
this. See also the
|
|
.BR \-gamma ,
|
|
.BR \-rgamma ,
|
|
and
|
|
.B \-bgamma
|
|
options.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-ignoreABI
|
|
The
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
server checks the ABI revision levels of each module that it loads. It
|
|
will normally refuse to load modules with ABI revisions that are newer
|
|
than the server's. This is because such modules might use interfaces
|
|
that the server does not have. When this option is specified, mismatches
|
|
like this are downgraded from fatal errors to warnings. This option
|
|
should be used with care.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-isolateDevice \fIbus\-id\fP
|
|
Restrict device resets to the device at
|
|
.IR bus\-id .
|
|
The
|
|
.I bus\-id
|
|
string has the form
|
|
.IB bustype : bus : device : function
|
|
(e.g., \(oqPCI:1:0:0\(cq).
|
|
At present, only isolation of PCI devices is supported; i.e., this option
|
|
is ignored if
|
|
.I bustype
|
|
is anything other than \(oqPCI\(cq.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-keeptty
|
|
Prevent the server from detaching its initial controlling terminal.
|
|
This option is only useful when debugging the server. Not all platforms
|
|
support (or can use) this option.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-keyboard " keyboard-name"
|
|
Use the xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file
|
|
.B InputDevice
|
|
section called
|
|
.I keyboard-name
|
|
as the core keyboard. This option is ignored when the
|
|
.B Layout
|
|
section specifies a core keyboard. In the absence of both a Layout
|
|
section and this option, the first relevant
|
|
.B InputDevice
|
|
section is used for the core keyboard.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-layout " layout-name"
|
|
Use the xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file
|
|
.B Layout
|
|
section called
|
|
.IR layout-name .
|
|
By default the first
|
|
.B Layout
|
|
section is used.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-logfile " filename"
|
|
Use the file called
|
|
.I filename
|
|
as the
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
server log file. The default log file is
|
|
.BI __logdir__/Xorg. n .log
|
|
on most platforms, where
|
|
.I n
|
|
is the display number of the
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
server. The default may be in a different directory on some platforms.
|
|
This option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e, with
|
|
real-uid 0).
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BR \-logverbose " [\fIn\fP]"
|
|
Sets the verbosity level for information printed to the
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
server log file. If the
|
|
.I n
|
|
value isn't supplied, each occurrence of this option increments the log
|
|
file verbosity level. When the
|
|
.I n
|
|
value is supplied, the log file verbosity level is set to that value.
|
|
The default log file verbosity level is 3.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-modulepath " searchpath"
|
|
Set the module search path to
|
|
.IR searchpath .
|
|
.I searchpath
|
|
is a comma separated list of directories to search for
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
server modules. This option is only available when the server is run
|
|
as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-nosilk
|
|
Disable Silken Mouse support.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-novtswitch
|
|
Disable the automatic switching on X server reset and shutdown to the
|
|
VT that was active when the server started, if supported by the OS.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-pixmap24
|
|
Set the internal pixmap format for depth 24 pixmaps to 24 bits per pixel.
|
|
The default is usually 32 bits per pixel. There is normally little
|
|
reason to use this option. Some client applications don't like this
|
|
pixmap format, even though it is a perfectly legal format. This is
|
|
equivalent to the
|
|
.B Pixmap
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-pixmap32
|
|
Set the internal pixmap format for depth 24 pixmaps to 32 bits per pixel.
|
|
This is usually the default. This is equivalent to the
|
|
.B Pixmap
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-pointer " pointer-name"
|
|
Use the xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file
|
|
.B InputDevice
|
|
section called
|
|
.I pointer-name
|
|
as the core pointer. This option is ignored when the
|
|
.B Layout
|
|
section specifies a core pointer. In the absence of both a Layout
|
|
section and this option, the first relevant
|
|
.B InputDevice
|
|
section is used for the core pointer.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-quiet
|
|
Suppress most informational messages at startup. The verbosity level
|
|
is set to zero.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-rgamma " value"
|
|
Set the red gamma correction.
|
|
.I value
|
|
must be between 0.1 and 10. The default is 1.0. Not all drivers support
|
|
this. See also the
|
|
.BR \-gamma ,
|
|
.BR \-bgamma ,
|
|
and
|
|
.B \-ggamma
|
|
options.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-sharevts
|
|
Share virtual terminals with another X server, if supported by the OS.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-screen " screen-name"
|
|
Use the xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file
|
|
.B Screen
|
|
section called
|
|
.IR screen-name .
|
|
By default the screens referenced by the default
|
|
.B Layout
|
|
section are used, or the first
|
|
.B Screen
|
|
section when there are no
|
|
.B Layout
|
|
sections.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-showconfig
|
|
This is the same as the
|
|
.B \-version
|
|
option, and is included for compatibility reasons. It may be removed
|
|
in a future release, so the
|
|
.B \-version
|
|
option should be used instead.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-showDefaultModulePath
|
|
Print out the default module path the server was compiled with.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-showDefaultLibPath
|
|
Print out the path libraries should be installed to.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-showopts
|
|
For each driver module installed, print out the list of options and their
|
|
argument types.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BI \-weight " nnn"
|
|
Set RGB weighting at 16 bpp. The default is 565. This applies only to
|
|
those drivers which support 16 bpp.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.BR \-verbose " [\fIn\fP]"
|
|
Sets the verbosity level for information printed on stderr. If the
|
|
.I n
|
|
value isn't supplied, each occurrence of this option increments the
|
|
verbosity level. When the
|
|
.I n
|
|
value is supplied, the verbosity level is set to that value. The default
|
|
verbosity level is 0.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-version
|
|
Print out the server version, patchlevel, release date, the operating
|
|
system/platform it was built on, and whether it includes module loader
|
|
support.
|
|
.SH "KEYBOARD"
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
server is normally configured to recognize various special combinations
|
|
of key presses that instruct the server to perform some action, rather
|
|
than just sending the key press event to a client application. These actions
|
|
depend on the XKB keymap loaded by a particular keyboard device and may or
|
|
may not be available on a given configuration.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The following key combinations are commonly part of the default XKEYBOARD
|
|
keymap.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
|
|
Immediately kills the server -- no questions asked. It can be disabled by
|
|
setting the
|
|
.B DontZap
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option to a TRUE value.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS 8
|
|
It should be noted that zapping is triggered by the
|
|
.B Terminate_Server
|
|
action in the keyboard map. This action is not part of the default keymaps
|
|
but can be enabled with the XKB option
|
|
.B \*qterminate:ctrl_alt_bksp\*q.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus
|
|
Change video mode to next one specified in the configuration file.
|
|
This can be disabled with the
|
|
.B DontZoom
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus
|
|
Change video mode to previous one specified in the configuration file.
|
|
This can be disabled with the
|
|
.B DontZoom
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B Ctrl+Alt+F1...F12
|
|
For systems with virtual terminal support, these keystroke
|
|
combinations are used to switch to virtual terminals 1 through 12,
|
|
respectively. This can be disabled with the
|
|
.B DontVTSwitch
|
|
xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) file option.
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
typically uses a configuration file called
|
|
.B xorg.conf
|
|
and configuration files with the suffix
|
|
.I .conf
|
|
in a directory called
|
|
.B __xconfigdir__
|
|
for its initial setup.
|
|
Refer to the xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__) manual page for information
|
|
about the format of this file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
has a mechanism for automatically generating a built-in configuration

at run-time when no
|
|
.B xorg.conf
|
|
file or
|
|
.B __xconfigdir__
|
|
files are present. The current version of this automatic configuration
|
|
mechanism works in two ways.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The first is via enhancements that have made many components of the
|
|
.B xorg.conf
|
|
file optional. This means that information that can be probed or
|
|
reasonably deduced doesn't need to be specified explicitly, greatly
|
|
reducing the amount of built-in configuration information that needs to
|
|
be generated at run-time.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The second is to have "safe" fallbacks for most configuration information.
|
|
This maximises the likelihood that the
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
server will start up in some usable configuration even when information
|
|
about the specific hardware is not available.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The automatic configuration support for Xorg is work in progress.
|
|
It is currently aimed at the most popular hardware and software platforms
|
|
supported by Xorg. Enhancements are planned for future releases.

That was originally based on \fIX386 1.2\fP by Thomas Roell, which
|
|
was contributed to the then X Consortium's X11R5 distribution by SGCS.
