4 Invoking the X Server

4.1 Overview


There are several ways to invoke the X server on your system:

• startx script provided in

/usr/X11R6/bin

• xinit

• xdm


This section assumes the use of the

csh

environment. If you

prefer a different shell, make the appropriate changes to the
examples.








prompt% setenv X11R6HOME /usr/X11R6

prompt% setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH \
$X11R6HOME/lib

prompt% set path=($X11R6HOME/bin $path)


All of the options specific to the Tech Source Raptor graphics
accelerators are set through the option field in the

Device

section

of the xorg.conf file. No command-line options are necessary

when using

startx

,

xinit

or

xdm

to start the X server. Refer to

Chapter 3 for instructions on how to properly configure the
xorg.conf files.


NOTE: For changes to take effect, the Xserver must be restarted
after modifications are made to the X configuration file.

NOTE: For all these methods, there are some
environment variables that must be set. These variables
can be set in your .

cshrc

file.
