Xmfb, Xcfb − X servers for RISC machines

Syntax

Xmfb [ options ]
Xcfb [ options ]

Description

The Xmfb command starts the monochrome DECstation server. The Xcfb command starts the color DECstation server.

The command that executes the X Server is usually specified in the /etc/ttys file and, therefore, is automatically running when your system is in multiuser mode. Use the xset −q command to query the server for the options that are currently set. 

Options

−a numSets the mouse acceleration value to the specified number of pixels.  The default is 4. 

−cTurns off key clicking. 

c numSets the key click volume to the specified number (0-100).  The default is 20. 

−f numSets the bell volume to the specified number (0-7).  The default is 3. 

−fc stringSets the default cursor font.  The default is cursor.

−s numSets the screen-saver timeout value to the specified number of minutes.  The default is 10. 

−t numSets the mouse threshold in pixels.  The mouse will accelerate only if the threshold is exceeded.  The default threshold is 4. 

vSpecifies that a blank screen is used for the screen-saver.  The default is on. 

−vSpecifies that a pattern (noblank) screen is used for the screen-saver. 

−p numDetermines the period to change the background pattern of the screen-saver to avoid burn-in.  The default is 10 seconds. 

−wp colorSets the color of white pixels as a named color or a number followed by six hexadecimal digits (color displays only). 

:numOn a multi-head system, specifies the head on which the server is run (0 or 1).  The default is 0. 

Device dependent, vendor specific options. 

−bp colorSets the color of black pixels for the screen. 

−wp colorSets the color of white pixels for the screen. 

−dpi numSets the dots per inch for the x and y coordinates. 

−dpix numSets the dots per inch for the x coordinates. 

−dpiy numSets the dots per inch for the y coordinates. 

Restrictions

If options not listed in this reference page are used, the server may fail. Using invalid options for the X server in the /etc/ttys may cause the workstation to behave as if the X server is hung.
