NAME
     XFree86 - X11R6 X server

SYNOPSIS
     XFree86 [:display] [option ...]

DESCRIPTION
     XFree86  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.

     This work was originally derived from X386 1.2 by Thomas  Roell  which  was
     contributed  to  X11R5 by Snitily Graphics Consulting Service.  The XFree86
     server architecture was redesigned for the 4.0  release,  and  it	includes
     among  many other things a loadable module system derived from code donated
     by Metro Link,  Inc.   The  current  XFree86  release  is	compatible  with
     X11R6.6.

PLATFORMS
     XFree86 operates under a wide range of operating systems and hardware plat-
     forms.   The  Intel  x86  (IA32)  architecture is the most widely supported
     hardware platform.  Other hardware platforms include  Compaq  Alpha,  Intel
     IA64,  SPARC  and PowerPC.  The most widely supported operating systems are
     the free/OpenSource UNIX-like systems such as Linux,  FreeBSD,  NetBSD  and
     OpenBSD.	Commercial  UNIX  operating  systems  such  as Solaris (x86) and
     UnixWare are also supported.  Other  supported  operating	systems  include
     LynxOS,  and  GNU	Hurd.	Darwin and Mac OS X are supported with the XDar-
     win(1) X server.  Win32/Cygwin is supported with the XWin X server.

NETWORK CONNECTIONS
     XFree86 supports  connections  made  using  the  following  reliable  byte-
     streams:

     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.

     TCPIP
	 XFree86 listens on port 6000+n, where n is the  display  number.   This
	 connection  type  can	be  disabled  with the -nolisten option (see the
	 Xserver(1) man page for details).

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 overrid-
     den by the XLOCAL environment variable described  below.	If  the  display
     name  indicates  a best-choice connection should be made (e.g.  :0.0), each
     connection mechanism is tried until a connection succeeds or no more mecha-
     nisms are available.  Note: for these OSs, the Unix Domain  socket  connec-
     tion  is treated differently from the other local connection types.  To use
     it the connection must be made to unix:0.0.

     The XLOCAL environment variable should contain a list of one more	more  of
     the following:

	     NAMED
	     PTS
	     SCO
	     ISC

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

     To globally override the compiled-in defaults, you should define  (and  ex-
     port  if  using  sh  or  ksh)  XLOCAL  globally.	If  you use startx(1) or
     xinit(1), the definition should be at the top of your  .xinitrc  file.   If
     you   use	 xdm(1),   the	 definitions   should	be   early   on  in  the
     /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession script.

OPTIONS
     XFree86 supports several mechanisms for  supplying/obtaining  configuration
     and  run-time  parameters: command line options, environment variables, the
     XF86Config(5) configuration file, 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 high-
     est 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(1) manual page.
     Most configuration file parameters, with their defaults, are  described  in
     the  XF86Config(5)  manual  page.	Driver and module specific configuration
     parameters are described in the relevant driver or module manual page.

     Starting with version 4.4, XFree86 has support for generating a usable con-
     figuration at run-time when no XF86Config(5)  configuration  file	is  pro-
     vided.  The initial version of this automatic configuration support is tar-
     geted  at	the  most  popular  hardware and software platforms supported by
     XFree86.  Some details about how this works can be found in the  CONFIGURA-
     TION section below and in the getconfig(1) manual page.

     In addition to the normal server options described in the Xserver(1) manual
     page, XFree86 accepts the following command line switches:

     vtXX    XX  specifies the Virtual Terminal device number which XFree86 will
	     use.  Without this option, XFree86 will pick  the	first  available
	     Virtual  Terminal	that it can locate.  This option applies only to
	     platforms such as Linux, BSD, SVR3 and SVR4, that have virtual ter-
	     minal support.

     -allowMouseOpenFail
	     Allow the server to start up even if  the	mouse  device  can't  be
	     opened  or  initialised.  This is equivalent to the AllowMouseOpen-
	     Fail XF86Config(5) file option.

     -allowNonLocalModInDev
	     Allow  changes  to  keyboard  and	mouse  settings  from  non-local
	     clients.	By  default,  connections from non-local clients are not
	     allowed to do this.  This is equivalent to the  AllowNonLocalModIn-
	     Dev XF86Config(5) file option.

     -allowNonLocalXvidtune
	     Make  the	VidMode extension available to remote clients.	This al-
	     lows the xvidtune client to connect from  another	host.	This  is
	     equivalent  to the AllowNonLocalXvidtune XF86Config(5) file option.
	     By default non-local connections are not allowed.

     -appendauto
	     Append the automatic XFree86 server configuration data to an exist-
	     ing configuration file.  By default this is only done when  an  ex-
	     isting  configuration  file  does not contain any ServerLayout sec-
	     tions or any Screen sections.  This can  be  useful  for  providing
	     configuration details for things not currently handled by the auto-
	     matic  configuration  mechanism, such as input devices, font paths,
	     etc.

     -autoconfig
	     Use automatic XFree86 server configuration, even if a configuration
	     file is available.  By default automatic configuration is only used
	     when a configuration file cannot be found.

     -bgamma value
	     Set the blue gamma correction.  value must be between 0.1	and  10.
	     The  default  is  1.0.  Not all drivers support this.  See also the
	     -gamma, -rgamma, and -ggamma options.

     -bpp n  No longer supported.  Use -depth to set the color	depth,	and  use
	     -fbbpp if you really need to force a non-default framebuffer (hard-
	     ware) pixel format.

     -configure
	     When  this  option is specified, the XFree86 server loads all video
	     driver modules, probes for available hardware, and  writes  out  an
	     initial XF86Config(5) 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).

     -crt /dev/ttyXX
	     SCO  only.   This is the same as the vt option, and is provided for
	     compatibility with the native SCO X server.

     -depth n
	     Sets the default color depth.  Legal values are 1, 4,  8,	15,  16,
	     and 24.  Not all drivers support all values.

     -disableModInDev
	     Disable  dynamic  modification  of  input device settings.  This is
	     equivalent to the DisableModInDev XF86Config(5) file option.

     -disableVidMode
	     Disable the the parts of the VidMode extension (used by  the  xvid-
	     tune  client)  that can be used to change the video modes.  This is
	     equivalent to the DisableVidModeExtension	XF86Config(5)  file  op-
	     tion.

     -fbbpp n
	     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 -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  val-
	     ues are 1, 8, 16, 24, 32.	Not all drivers support all values.

     -flipPixels
	     Swap the default values for the black and white pixels.

     -gamma value
	     Set  the  gamma correction.  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 -rgamma,
	     -bgamma, and -ggamma options.  Not all drivers support this.

     -ggamma value
	     Set the green gamma correction.  value must be between 0.1 and  10.
	     The  default  is  1.0.  Not all drivers support this.  See also the
	     -gamma, -rgamma, and -bgamma options.

     -ignoreABI
	     The XFree86 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.

     -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.

     -keyboard keyboard-name
	     Use the XF86Config(5) file InputDevice section called keyboard-name
	     as the core keyboard.  This option is ignored when the ServerLayout
	     section specifies a core  keyboard.   In  the  absence  of  both  a
	     ServerLayout  section  and this option, the first relevant InputDe-
	     vice section is used for the core keyboard.

     -layout layout-name
	     Use the XF86Config(5) file ServerLayout section called layout-name.
	     By default the first ServerLayout section is used.

     -logfile filename
	     Use the file called filename as the XFree86 server log  file.   The
	     default log file is /var/log/XFree86.n.log on most platforms, where
	     n	is the display number of the XFree86 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).

     -logverbose [n]
	     Sets  the	verbosity  level  for information printed to the XFree86
	     server log file.  If the n value isn't supplied, each occurrence of
	     this option increments the log file verbosity level.   When  the  n
	     value  is	supplied,  the	log  file verbosity level is set to that
	     value.  The default log file verbosity level is 3.

     -modulepath searchpath
	     Set the module search path to searchpath.	searchpath  is	a  comma
	     separated list of directories to search for XFree86 server modules.
	     This  option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e,
	     with real-uid 0).

     -noappendauto
	     Disable appending the automatic XFree86 server configuration  to  a
	     partial static configuration.

     -nosilk
	     Disable Silken Mouse support.

     -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  nor-
	     mally  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 Pixmap XF86Config(5) file op-
	     tion.

     -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
	     Pixmap XF86Config(5) file option.

     -pointer pointer-name
	     Use the XF86Config(5) file InputDevice section called  pointer-name
	     as  the core pointer.  This option is ignored when the ServerLayout
	     section specifies a core pointer.	In the absence of both a Server-
	     Layout section and this option, the first relevant InputDevice sec-
	     tion is used for the core pointer.

     -probeonly
	     Causes the server to exit after  the  device  probing  stage.   The
	     XF86Config(5)  file is still used when this option is given, so in-
	     formation that can be auto-detected should be commented out.

     -quiet  Suppress most informational messages  at  startup.   The  verbosity
	     level is set to zero.

     -rgamma value
	     Set  the  red  gamma correction.  value must be between 0.1 and 10.
	     The default is 1.0.  Not all drivers support this.   See  also  the
	     -gamma, -bgamma, and -ggamma options.

     -scanpci
	     When  this  option  is  specified, the XFree86 server scans the PCI
	     bus, and prints out some information about each device that was de-
	     tected.  See also scanpci(1) and pcitweak(1).

     -screen screen-name
	     Use the XF86Config(5) file Screen section called  screen-name.   By
	     default  the screens referenced by the default ServerLayout section
	     are used, or the first Screen section when there are no  ServerLay-
	     out sections.

     -showconfig
	     This  is  the same as the -version option, and is included for com-
	     patibility reasons.  It may be removed in a future release, so  the
	     -version option should be used instead.

     -weight nnn
	     Set  RGB  weighting  at  16 bpp.  The default is 565.  This applies
	     only to those drivers which support 16 bpp.

     -verbose [n]
	     Sets the verbosity level for information printed on stderr.  If the
	     n value isn't supplied, each occurrence of this  option  increments
	     the  verbosity  level.  When the n value is supplied, the verbosity
	     level is set to that value.  The default verbosity level is 0.

     -version
	     Print out the server version, patchlevel, release date, the operat-
	     ing system/platform it was built on, and whether it includes module
	     loader support.

     -xf86config file
	     Read the server configuration from 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.

KEYBOARD
     The XFree86 server is normally configured to recognize various special com-
     binations	of  key presses that instruct the server to perform some action,
     rather than just sending the key press event to a client application.   The
     default  XKEYBOARD  keymap  defines the key combinations listed below.  The
     server also has these key combinations builtin to	its  event  handler  for
     cases  where  the	XKEYBOARD  extension  is not being used.  When using the
     XKEYBOARD extension, which key combinations perform which actions	is  com-
     pletely configurable.

     For more information about when the builtin event handler is used to recog-
     nize  the special key combinations, see the documentation on the HandleSpe-
     cialKeys option in the XF86Config(5) man page.

     The special combinations of key presses recognized directly by XFree86 are:

     Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
	     Immediately kills the server -- no questions asked.   This  can  be
	     disabled with the DontZap XF86Config(5) file option.

     Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus
	     Change  video mode to next one specified in the configuration file.
	     This can be disabled with the DontZoom XF86Config(5) file option.

     Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus
	     Change video mode to previous one specified  in  the  configuration
	     file.   This  can	be disabled with the DontZoom XF86Config(5) file
	     option.

     Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Multiply
	     Not treated  specially  by  default.   If	the  AllowClosedownGrabs
	     XF86Config(5)  file  option  is  specified, this key sequence kills
	     clients with an active keyboard or mouse grab as  well  as  killing
	     any application that may have locked the server, normally using the
	     XGrabServer(3) Xlib function.

     Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Divide
	     Not  treated  specially  by  default.   If the AllowDeactivateGrabs
	     XF86Config(5) file option is specified, this key  sequence  deacti-
	     vates any active keyboard and mouse grabs.

     Ctrl+Alt+F1...F12
	     For BSD and Linux systems with virtual terminal support, these key-
	     stroke  combinations  are	used  to  switch  to virtual terminals 1
	     through  12,  respectively.   This  can  be   disabled   with   the
	     DontVTSwitch XF86Config(5) file option.

CONFIGURATION
     XFree86  typically uses a configuration file called XF86Config for its ini-
     tial setup.  Refer to the XF86Config(5) manual page for  information  about
     the format of this file.

     Starting with version 4.4, XFree86 has a mechanism for automatically gener-
     ating  a  built-in  configuration	at  run-time  when no XF86Config file is
     present.  The current version of  this  automatic	configuration  mechanism
     works in three ways.

     The  first  is  via  enhancements	that  have  made  many components of the
     XF86Config file optional.	This means that information that can  be  probed
     or  reasonably deduced doesn't need to be specified explicitly, greatly re-
     ducing the amount of built-in configuration information that  needs  to  be
     generated at run-time.

     The  second  is to use an external utility called getconfig(1), when avail-
     able, to use meta-configuration information to generate a suitable configu-
     ration for the primary video device.   The  meta-configuration  information
     can be updated to allow an existing installation to get the best out of new
     hardware or to work around bugs that are found post-release.

     The  third  is to have "safe" fallbacks for most configuration information.
     This maximises the likelihood that the XFree86 server will start up in some
     usable configuration even when information about the specific  hardware  is
     not available.

     The automatic configuration support for XFree86 is work in progress.  It is
     currently	aimed  at  the most popular hardware and software platforms sup-
     ported by XFree86.  Enhancements are planned for future releases.

     The XFree86 server config file can be found in a range of locations.  These
     are documented fully in the XF86Config(5) manual page.  The  most	commonly
