.SH NAME
|
||||
Xephyr - X server outputting to a window on a pre-existing X display
|
||||
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.B Xephyr
|
||||
.RI [\fB:\fP display ]
|
||||
.RI [ option
|
||||
.IR ... ]
|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.B Xephyr
|
||||
is a a kdrive server that outputs to a window on a pre-existing
|
||||
'host' X display.
|
||||
Think
|
||||
.I Xnest
|
||||
but with support for modern extensions like composite, damage and randr.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Unlike
|
||||
.I Xnest
|
||||
which is an X proxy, i.e. limited to the capabilities of the host X server,
|
||||
.B Xephyr
|
||||
is a real X server which
|
||||
uses the host X server window as "framebuffer" via fast SHM XImages.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
It also has support for "visually" debugging what the server is
|
||||
painting.
|
||||
.SH OPTIONS
|
||||
.TP 8
|
||||
.BI -screen " width" x height
|
||||
sets the screen size.
|
||||
.TP 8
|
||||
.BI -parent " id"
|
||||
uses exiting window
|
||||
.I id .
|
||||
.TP 8
|
||||
.B -host-cursor
|
||||
set 'cursor acceleration':
|
||||
The host's cursor is reused. This is only really there to aid
|
||||
debugging by avoiding server paints for the cursor. Performance
|
||||
improvement is negiable.
|
||||
.SH "SIGNALS"
|
||||
Send a SIGUSR1 to the server (e.g. pkill -USR1 Xephyr) to
|
||||
toggle the debugging mode.
|
||||
In this mode red rectangles are painted to
|
||||
screen areas getting painted before painting the actual content.
|
||||
The
|
||||
delay between this can be altered by setting a XEPHYR_PAUSE env var to
|
||||
a value in micro seconds.
|
||||
.SH CAVEATS
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
.IP \(bu 2
|
||||
Rotated displays are currently updated via full blits. This
|
||||
is slower than a normal oprientated display. Debug mode will
|
||||
therefore not be of much use rotated.
|
||||
.IP \(bu 2
|
||||
The '-host-cursor' cursor is static in its appearence.
|
||||
.IP \(bu 2
|
||||
The build gets a warning about 'nanosleep'. I think the various '-D'
|
||||
build flags are causing this. I havn't figured as yet how to work
|
||||
round it. It doesn't appear to break anything however.
|
||||
.IP \(bu 2
|
||||
Keyboard handling is basic but works.
|
||||
.TP \(bu 2
|
||||
Mouse button 5 probably wont work.
