X(8x)                   COMMAND REFERENCE                   X(8x)



NAME
     X - X window system server

     For 4310, 4320, and 4330 series UTek products only.

SYNOPSIS
     X <display> [ option ... ] <tty>

DESCRIPTION
     The program X is the window system server normally run
     automatically by  xstart(8x),  providing the tty argument.
     The display argument is the number of the bitmap display to
     service.  The number is typically in the range 0-6, and
     defines the ports the server will accept connections on and
     the filename of the device.  (The UTek workstations use 0 as
     the display argument.)

     The program xinit(1x) is  usually used to start X
     interactively.

     Connections through the UTek domain and through TCP are
     currently possible.  The connections accepted by a server
     depend on how it was compiled.  UTek domain connections are
     through  /tmp/X*, where  *  is the display number; TCP
     connections are through ports 5800+N (VAX byte order) and
     5900+N (68000 byte order), where  N  is the display number.

OPTIONS
     The following options can be given to the X server on the
     command line:

     -a #      set mouse acceleration (pixels)

     -f #      set feep (bell) volume (0-7)

     m         force monochrome mode on a color display

     -p #      set screen-saver pattern cycle time (minutes)

     -r        turn off autorepeat

     r         turn on autorepeat

     -s #      set screen-saver timeout (minutes)

     -t #      set mouse threshold (pixels)

     v         set video-on screen-saver preference

     -v        set video-off screen-saver preference

     -0 color  set color map entry 0 (BlackPixel)

     -1 color  set color map entry 1 (WhitePixel)

     -D rgbdb  set RGB (red, green, blue) data base file

     The defaults are
     -a  4  c  6  -f  3  l  -p  60  r  -s  10  -t  2 -0  #008  -1
     #ffffff  -D  /usr/lib/rgb

INITIALIZATION
     The programs X(1x)  and your first  xterm(1x)  are normally
     started by the  xstart(8x)  program; then X maintains an
     access control list for accepting connections.  (The host
     where the server runs is initially on the list.)   Hosts
     listed in the file  /etc/X*.hosts,  where  *  is the display
     number, are also initially on the list; the format of this
     file is a list of host names, one per line. The access
     control list can be manipulated with  xhost(1px).

     The program xstart(8x) restarts the X server if the display
     terminates.  See the xstart(8x) description on how to
     terminate X.

     Note that while X is running, all access to the display must
     be through the window system.

DIAGNOSTICS
     If run from  xstart(8x),  X  errors are logged in the file
     /usr/adm/X*msgs,  where  *  is the display number.
     Otherwise, errors go to error output.

     The message

     Fatal error: No such device or address at Opening


     usually means something else (like an existing  X ) has the
     display open.

     The message

     Fatal error: No such file or directory at Initializing


     usually means that the device file for the display does not
     exist.
