NAME
       X - X Window System display server dispatcher

SYNOPSIS
       X [ option ...]

DESCRIPTION:
       Hewlett-Packard	supports  two  X servers on HP-UX platforms, the Xhp X
       server which supports HP VISUALIZE graphics  devices  and  the  Xf86  X
       server  which supports all other graphics devices.  These X servers are
       delivered as /usr/bin/X11/Xhp and /usr/bin/X11/Xf86.

       The X dispatcher determines which X  server  to	launch	based  on  the
       available  graphics devices.  The control file /etc/X11/Xstart can pro‐
       vide additional guidance to the X dispatcher.  The control file	allows
       the  user  to specify which X server to start for given display connec‐
       tion numbers. The only X servers supported by the X dispatcher are Xhp,
       Xf86  and  Xvfb.	  If  no  Xstart file exists, the dispatcher loads the
       appropriate X server for the graphics device in the system.  HP-UX does
       not  deliver  the  /etc/X11/Xstart  file.   This file can be created by
       using the SAM/SMH utility.

OPTIONS
       If the X dispatcher is invoked with no arguments, the  display  connec‐
       tion  is assumed to be :0.  The X dispatcher checks for display connec‐
       tion options and, if found, uses that display connection number when it
       checks  the  Xstart  file.   All	 other	options are passed on to the X
       server when it is started and it is the X  server's  responsibility  to
       validate	 these	options.   Not	all options may be supported on both X
       servers; refer to Xhp(1) and Xf86(1) to verify  supported  options  for
       each X server.

RETURN VALUE
       None

Xstart EXAMPLES
       The  control  file syntax is the X server to start followed by the dis‐
       play connection number.	Valid entries take the form of:

       Xhp :0				       Start the Xhp X server on  dis‐
					       play connection 0

       Xf86 :10				       Start the Xf86 X server on dis‐
					       play 10

       /usr/bin/X11/Xhp :5		       Start the Xhp X server on  dis‐
					       play connection 5

       /usr/bin/X11/Xvfb :7		       Start the X Virtual Framebuffer
					       server on display connection 7

FILES
       /etc/X11/Xstart			       Dispatcher control file.

       /var/X11/Xserver/logs/Xstartup.N.log    X dispatcher log file for  dis‐
					       play N.
