4 XDarwinStartup - Startup program for the XDarwin X window server
14 The \fIXDarwin(1)\fP X window server can be run in a variety of different
15 modes and is actually two different executables. The IOKit X server,
16 XDarwin, is used when running from the console. It is most commonly
17 located in __XBinDir__. The Quartz X server, for running in parallel with
18 Aqua, is a full-fledged Mac OS X application that can be started from
19 the Finder. Its application bundle is XDarwin.app, which is typically
20 located in /Applications.
22 allows easy switching between these X servers and auto-detection of the
23 appropriate one to use when launching from the command line.
24 When run without any arguments,
26 will start the Quartz X server if the Core Graphics window server
27 is currently running. Otherwise it will start the IOKit X server.
29 To locate the Quartz X server,
31 will try to read the soft link at __XBinDir__/XDarwinQuartz.
32 This is typically a soft link to the executable of the XDarwin.app
33 application. If this fails,
35 will call Launch Services to locate XDarwin.app.
37 To start the IOKit X server,
39 will run the XDarwin executable, which should be present in the
43 accepts and passes on all options to the X server it
44 launches. In addition the following options have specific effects:
47 Launch the IOKit X server.
50 Launch the Quartz X server to run in full screen mode.
53 Launch the Quartz X server to run in rootless mode.
56 Launch the Quartz X server.
59 Pause and do nothing. This option is used by XDarwin.app when it is
60 started from the Finder.
66 /Applications/XDarwin.app
69 __XBinDir__/XDarwinQuartz
70 Soft link to Quartz mode X server executable
74 The path to XDarwinQuartz should not be hard coded.
