Syntax
Xqvsm [ options ]
Xqdsg [ options ]
Description
The and commands start the X server. The command is based on X11R4 and
supports the monochrome VAXstation 2000, the monochrome VAXstation
3100, and the VAXstation II. The command is based on X11R4 and sup‐
ports the color VAXstation 2000, the color VAXstation 3100, and the
VAXstation GPX.
The command that executes the X server is specified together with its
command line options in the file and, therefore, is automatically run
when your system is started in multiuser mode. Optionally, you can
create an file containing device-dependent command line options (sepa‐
rated by spaces) and use it to start the server. Command line options
specified in the file override those specified in the file.
Start the server in bug compatibility mode (with the bc flag) to remain
bug-for-bug compatible with previous releases of the server.
Options
The following options are device independent. These options are avail‐
able on all workstation hardware platforms running X11 Release 4
servers.
-a num Sets the mouse acceleration value to the specified
number of pixels. The default is 4 pixels.
-auth string Selects a file containing authorization records.
Hosts listed in the file are allowed to access to
the server's display. By default, no authorization
file is used.
bc Enables bug compatibility with previous releases.
-bs Disables Backing Store. Backing Store is disabled
if the -bs flag is specified on the command line.
-c Turns off key clicking.
c num Sets the key click volume to the specified number
(0-100). The default is 20.
-co string Selects a color database. The default is
-f num Sets the bell volume to the specified number
(0-100). The default is 50.
-fc string Sets the default cursor font. The default is
-fd num Sets the font size in dots per inch. Acceptable
values are 75 and 100 dots per inch (dpi).
-fn string Sets the default text font. The default is
-fp string Sets the default font directory path. The default
font directories are:
+fp path[,path...] Prepends the specified font paths to the default
path.
fp+ path[,path...] Appends the specified font paths to the default
path.
-help Displays the server's usage message.
-I Directs the server to ignore all remaining command
line arguments.
-ld num Limits data space to num Kbytes.
-ls num Limits stack space to num Kbytes.
-logo Enables the X logo screen saver.
logo Disables the X logo screen saver.
-p seconds Determines how long to wait before changing the
background pattern of the screen-saver. The
default is 10 seconds.
-r Turns off automatic repetition of keyboard key
characters.
r Turns on automatic repetition of keyboard key char‐
acters. The default is on.
-s seconds Sets the screen-saver timeout value to the speci‐
fied number of seconds. The default is 10 seconds.
-su Disables Save-Unders.
-t num Sets the mouse threshold in pixels. The mouse will
accelerate only if the threshold is exceeded. The
default threshold is 4 pixels.
-to seconds Specifies the number of seconds for the server to
wait before declaring a session connection timed
out.
ttyxx Specifies the terminal on which the server is to
start.
v Specifies that a blank screen is used for the
screen-saver. This is the default screen-saver.
-v Specifies that a pattern (noblank) screen is used
for the screen-saver.
-wm Enables the use of Backing Store with WhenMapped
calls.
-x string Loads the file string containing an X extension.
:num On a multihead system, specifies the head on which
the server is run (0 or 1). The default is 0.
-broadcast Enables X Display Manager Control Protocol (XDMCP)
and sends broadcast query packets over the network.
-displayID display-id
For XDMCP, identifies manufacturer's display ID for
display.
-indirect hostname Enables XDMCP and sends indirect query packets to
the specified host.
-once Terminates server after one session.
-port num Specifies the UDP port number that will receive
messages.
-query hostname Enables XDMCP and sends query packets to the speci‐
fied host.
-XDMCP_class display-class
Specifies an additional display qualifier used in
resource management by XDMCP.
The following are device-dependent, vendor-specific options for the
server started by the command:
-bp color Sets the color of black pixels. The color argument
can be a named color from the database or a number
sign (#) followed by a hexadecimal number.
-class visual class
Sets the visual class for the root window. Possi‐
ble values are and
-dpi num Sets the dots per inch for the x and y coordinates.
-dpix num Sets the dots per inch for the x coordinates.
-dpiy num Sets the dots per inch for the y coordinates.
-wp color Sets the color of white pixels. The syntax for
color is the same as for the argument to the -bp
flag.

If options not listed in this reference page are used, the server may
fail. Using invalid options for the X server in the file may cause the
workstation to behave as if the X server is hung.
