INVOKING THE X SERVER

5.1 Overview


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

• startx script provided in

/usr/X11R6/bin

• xinit
• xdm
• Multi-screen operation


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

XF86Config

file. No command-line options are

necessary when using

startx

,

xinit

or

xdm

to start the X

server

Please refer to Chapters 3 and 4 for information on how to
configure the

XF86Config

file.

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

cshrc

file.
