XWINDOWS(1) —

NAME

xwindows - start Xibm, uwm window manager, two xterms, and xclock

SYNOPSIS

xwindows [:number] [screen ...] [-w window-manager] [-fn fontname] [-pckeys]

DESCRIPTION

Xwindows is a shell script that starts up the Xibm server, uwm, two xterms, and an xclock on the specified screen. Before using xwindows, make sure you have copied /usr/guest/guest/xwindows/.uwmrc into your home directory; uwm will it need for its menus, etc.

Number is an integer in the range 0-7 inclusive indicating the display number; for example, :0. If no number is given the shell variable DISPLAY is used. A number given on the command line, however, will override a DISPLAY variable defined in the shell environment.

The following screens are recognized:

-8514 The IBM 8514 PS/2 Color Display (IBM 8514/A Adapter required)

-vga The IBM Video Graphics Array (VGA) Display

-mpel The IBM 5081 Display with MegaPel adapter

-ega The IBM 5154 Enhanced Color Display with adapter

-apa16
The IBM 6155 Extended Monochrome Graphics Display with adapter

-aed The IBM Academic Information Systems experimental display

If no screens are specified the server will start on the first available screen chosen from the above list. The search order is from top to bottom of the list.

The following options are each recognized as a separate argument:

-w Xwindows uses the next argument as the window manager instead of uwm.

-fn Xwindows uses the next argument as the name of the font instead of the default font.

-pckeys
This modifier causes the <Caps Lock> and <Ctrl> keys to be switched while xwindows is being run to make their positions more familiar to touch typists.

EXAMPLES

xwindows
xwindows :0 -8514
xwindows :1 -vga -fn fixed -pckeys
