                      3: .SH NAME
                      4: Xqdss - X window system VAXStation II/GPX
                      5: .SH DESCRIPTION
                      6: .PP
                      7: The QDSS hardware in the VAXStation II/GPX supports 8 plane or 4 plane
                      8: displays.
                      9: .PP
                     10: .SH OPTIONS
                     11: .br
                     12: \fB-bp\fP \fIpixel-value\fP    set default black-pixel color

                     14: \fB-wp\fP \fIpixel-value\fP    set default white-pixel color
                     15: .sp
                     16: The server also takes all of the standard server options (See X(8)
                     17: for a complete list.)
                     18: .PP
                     19: .SH NOTE
                     20: You need to make sure your kernel is configured with DMA_BUFSIZ
                     21: set to 10 in sys/data/qd_data.c, or things won't work right.
                     22: .PP
                     23: .SH BUGS
                     24: .PP
                     25: Currently only numeric arguments from #000000 to #ffffff are
                     26: accepted for default BlackPixel and WhitePixel, and no screen 
                     27: number is accepted.
                     28: .PP
                     29: The GPX hardware contains a polygon edge address generation engine
                     30: which does not conform to the polygon edge
                     31: model specified in the X11 protocol document.
                     32: The effect is that GPX polygon edges extend on average
                     33: one-half pixel farther out than they ought.
                     34: .PP
                     35: Zero-width dashed lines could be made faster by using the qdss hardware.
                     36: .PP
                     37: Text output uses hardare capabilities only for solid fill and 8-bit
                     38: character encodings and so other fill styles and encodings are slow.
                     39: .PP
                     40: Clipping to a bitmap is implemented by converting the bitmap
                     41: to a list of rectangles, which is slow for complex bitmaps.
                     42: .PP
                     43: Known to dump core on some GetImage requests.
