Graphics Administration Guide (April 2009)

Specify the size of the graphics shared memory region. The size must be specified in bytes and
must be in hexadecimal.
Default value: 0x580000
ImmediateLoadDles
The X Server delays loading of some X extensions until the first protocol request to the given
extension is received. Specifying this server option forces all extensions to be loaded at X Server
startup.
screen entries
The minimum screen entry is a line with the keyword “Screen” followed by a screen device file.
Optional specifications for default visual, monitor size, and device-dependent screen options
may follow this minimal screen description line.
Default Visual
This optional part of the format specifies the default visual that the screen uses. Valid keywords
following the “DefaultVisual” keyword are “Class”, “Depth”, “Layer”, and “Transparent”.
If no default visual is specified, then the standard default visual class, depth, layer, and
transparency for the graphics device is used.
If there is an error in a specification, look in an information file for more details (for example,
/usr/lib/X11/Xserver/info/screens/hp), in case it is newer than the document you’re now reading.
Class <PseudoColor> | <DirectColor>| <TrueColor>
Specify the class of the default visual.
Depth <depth_value>
Specify the depth of the default visual (for example 8 or 24).
Layer <Image> | <Overlay>
Specify the layer of the default visual.
Transparent
Specify that a visual with an application-accessible transparent entry in the default colormap be
used.
MonitorSize <diagonal_length> Inches | MM
Specify the diagonal size of the monitor. After the “MonitorSize” keyword, you must specify the
diagonal length of the monitor and then the units. Use this entry only if you are using a
non-standard monitor.
ScreenOptions
Screen options are device-dependent options that are documented in a file in the X Server
information directory (for example, /usr/lib/X11/Xserver/info/screens/hp).
sample X*screens files
Below are several sample X*screens files that illustrate the new format.
• This is the minimum legal X*screens file, the “Screen” keyword followed by the screen
device. Since no other information is given, the X Server will assume default values for other
options and settings.
