8: NAME
9: X - X window system server
10:
11: SYNOPSIS
12: X <display> [ option ... ] <tty>
13:
14: DESCRIPTION
15: _X is the window system server. It is normally run automati-
16: cally by _i_n_i_t(_8), which provides the tty argument. The
17: display argument is the number of the bitmap display to ser-
18: vice. The number is typically in the range 0-6, and defines
19: the ports the server will accept connections on and the
20: filename of the device.
21:
22: The program _x_i_n_i_t(_8) is usually used to start X interac-
23: tively.
24:
25: Connections through the Unix domain, through TCP, and
26: through DECnet are currently possible. The connections
27: actually accepted by a server depend on how it was compiled.
28: Unix domain connections are through /_d_e_v/_X*, where * is the
29: display number. TCP connections are through ports 5800+N
30: (VAX byte order) and 5900+N (68000 byte order), where N is
31: the display number. DECnet connections are through object
32: name ``X*'', where * is the display number.
33:
34:
35: OPTIONS
36:
37: See the _X(_1) manual page for a list of command line options.

40: INITIALIZATION
41:
42: _X(_1) and your first _x_t_e_r_m(_1) are normally started by the
43: _i_n_i_t(_8) program.
44:
45: A typical line in /_e_t_c/_t_t_y_s might be:
46:
47: ttyv0 "/etc/xterm -L =-1+1 :0" xterm on secure window="/etc/Xvs100 0 -c -l"
48:
49: However, if you want the xterm to run on a different
50: machine, you might have:
51:
52: remote "/etc/X 0 -l -c" xterm on secure
53:
54: on the server machine and
55:
56: ttyv0 "/exe/xterm -L =-1+1 orpheus:0" xterm on secure
57:
58: on the client machine.

72:
73:
74: _X maintains an access control list for accepting connec-
75: tions. The host where the server runs is initially on the
76: list. In addition, hosts listed the file /_e_t_c/_X*._h_o_s_t_s,
77: where * is the display number, are also initially on the
78: list. The format of this file is a list of host names, one
79: per line. DECnet hosts are distinguished from Internet
80: hosts by the existance of a trailing ``::'' in the name. The
81: access control list can be manipulated with _x_h_o_s_t(_1).
82:
83: _X will catch the SIGHUP signal sent by _i_n_i_t(_8) after the
84: initial process (usually the login _x_t_e_r_m(_1)) started on the
85: display terminates. This signal causes all connections to
86: be closed (thereby ``disowning'' the terminal), all
87: resources to be freed, and all defaults restored.
88:
89: The X protocol is documented in ``X.doc''. Note that while
90: X is running, all access to the display must be through the
91: window system.

96:
97: DIAGNOSTICS
98: Are too numerous to list them all. If run from _i_n_i_t(_8),
99: errors are logged in the file /_u_s_r/_a_d_m/_X*_m_s_g_s, where * is
100: the display number. Otherwise, errors go to error output.
101:
102: `fatal error: No such device or address at Opening' usually
103: means someone else (like an existing X) has the display
104: open.
105:
106: `fatal error: No such file or directory at Initializing'
107: usually means the VS100 firmware was not found or that the
108: device file for the display does not exist.

119:
120: BUGS
121: The option syntax is inconsistent with itself and _x_s_e_t(_1).
122:
123: If _X dies before its clients, new clients won't be able to
124: connect until all existing connections have their TCP
125: TIME_WAIT timers expire.
