4.4 startx
This is the easiest way to start up the X Window System server.
The
startx
script is provided in /
usr/contrib/bin/X11
directory.
To start up the X server in the default mode type:
prompt% startx
You may add command line arguments to the end of the line.
4.5 xinit
The
xinit
program can be directly used to start the X Window
System server. The
xinit
format is as follows:
xinit [[client] options] [ -- [server]
[display] options ]
If no specific client program is given on the command line,
xinit
will look for a file in the user's home directory called
.xinitrc
to
run as a shell script to start up client programs. If no such file
exists,
xinit
will use the following as a default:
xterm -geometry +1+1 -n login \
-display :0
If no specific server program is given on the command line,
xinit
will look for a file in the user's home directory called
.xserverrc
to run as a shell script to start up the server. If no such file exists,
xinit
will use the following as a default:
X :0
Note that this assumes that there is a program named
X
in the
current search path.
