The "[XSETUP]" Section of the ini-file

The "[XSETUP]" section of the ini-file may have the following entry lines you can customize for particular needs and applications. These settings are absent in the XSettings dialog box.

On how to port XServer's settings (i.e., the "[XSETUP]" section of the ini-file) onto other PCs, see subsection Exporting XServer's Settings During Installation in section Running Setup in chapter Installing WinaXe.

BlockRWMtopmost=1

to allow XServer to display any X windows over all MS windows. This setting is for the XServer's Multiple+RemoteWM mode. In this case, it is convenient to use local mwm.

BroadcastConnectFirstAnswer=1

to provide the "old-style" way of using the XDMCP broadcast mode.

ConnectXWClipboards=p

to specify the mode of connection between MS Windows Clipboard and a current X Selection.

Three of the least significant bits in p specify one of three main kinds of auto-copying:

• bit e1=1 enables copying from MS Windows Clipboard to X Selection;
  
  
• bit e2=1 enables copying from X Selection to MS Windows Clipboard;
  
  
• bit e3=1 makes copying from X Selection to MS Windows Clipboard when any window controlled by XServer loses its activity.

DeceiveSuSE9=1

to allow XServer to be operational with Linux SuSE 9.0.

DisplayNumberForXDMCP=...

to provide a "virtual" value of DisplayNumber for XServer. This value is sent to a remote XDMCP daemon instead of the real value.

The MyIP=... entry line in the "[NETWORK]" section provides a "virtual" local IP address that is sent to a remote host instead of the real value.

DontResetAtLastClientClose=1

to prevent from the XServer reset after the last X-Client closes its session.

FSReadTimeout=60

to change the default font server timeout value (60 sec). For example, 'FSReadTimeout=120' sets the timeout to 120 sec.

ILikeAIX=1

to specify the "old-style" keyboard mapping (like it was on the AIX X console, X-Terminals, etc.). This is the actual mode for some AIX X-Clients that work with fixed keyboard mapping only.

iniRunTelnet=1
iniRunXSettings=1
iniRunFtp=1
iniRunLpr=1
iniRunLpd=1
iniRunXStartup=1
iniRunPing=1

to automatically launch corresponding programs when XServer starts.

LocalRefreshAtStoreColors=1

to set the immediate refresh of screen after any color cell of the active colormap is changed. Be ready that this setting significantly slows down the XServer's performance.

MenuDisable=Restore,Move,Size,Minimize,Maximize,Close,Edit,Options, LocalRef,Restart,Macros,Messages,Run,About,Help,Readme,Refresh,LocalWin

This value of the option disables all the items from the XServer's Control menu. To disable some of the menu items, leave them on the line.

metaWidth=WWW
metaHeight=HHH

With these two lines, you can set the forced multi-monitors mode if XServer cannot detect the multi-monitors mode automatically.

WWW is the sum width and the HHH is the sum height of your "monitors".

In the Full Screen mode, XServer can only use the MAIN monitor.

MiddleButtonTimeout=10

to set the value of the 'MiddleButton wait timeout', in msec.

MseKbdSecondly=2

to suppress the focus-problem when your network (or X-Client machine) is slow, and XServer processes the "ButtonRelease" mouse event before it receives the "AllowEvents"/"GrabKeyboard" requests from the corresponding X-Client.

MultiRWMbgroundWin=1

to allow the remote window manager to display background if it provides this (e.g., olwm does not provide, but dtwm does). Such a background window is suppressed by default because it covers all non-X windows. This setting is for the XServer's Multiple+RemoteWM mode.

QuickTermination=1

to prevent from the confirmation message on closing X-sessions.

SocketCreate_INADDR=.

to communicate with the XDMCP daemon via the IP address chosen.

This is applicable when the XServer's PC has more than one IP address. In this case, XServer will prompt you to choose one of them.

SocketCreate_INADDR=IP

to use the IP address specified to communicate with the XDMCP daemon.

E.g., SocketCreate_INADDR=192.168.0.30.

This is applicable when the XServer's PC has more than one IP address. In this case, XServer will use the IP address specified for the variable.

SocketCreateListener_INADDR=IPaddress

to bind IPaddress to the XServer's listening socket.

E.g., the SocketCreateListener_INADDR=127.0.0.1 line allows for access to XServer from local X-Clients only.

TerminateAtLastXClientClose=1

to automatically terminate XServer after the last X-Client closes its session.

TrPW2=2

to enable the TrPW2 mode in the Multiple mode for XServer.

In the TrPW2 mode, the local window manager provides usual behaviour, but each top-level non-popup X window has a parent window controlled by the window manager.

UnlatchedCapsLock=1

to toggle the actual CapsLock keyboard key to unlatched mode, i.e. XServer will consider the CapsLock key as a normal key (non-toggling).

This setting is actual if you remap the CapsLock key in the kmf-file (say, exchange the CapsLock and LeftControl keys, what is popular among some users on SUN machines).

Use_8_3_fonts_alias_file=0

to use the standard fonts.alias name.

Historically, XServer uses the fonts.ali name to list font aliases in the file.

This setting is useful when you use a mounted fonts directory.

UseUsualSelect=1

to provide the "old-style" way of using the select() WinSock API request.

XsessionTitle=...

to specify your title for X-session (and its icon) instead of its standard title.

E.g., XsessionTitle=Hello from XServer.

XTcpPort=6000

to change the default (6000) port number XServer will use.
