XDarwinStartup - Startup program for the XDarwin X window server
14
The \fIXDarwin(1)\fP X window server can be run in a variety of different
15
modes and is actually two different executables. The IOKit X server,
16
XDarwin, is used when running from the console. It is most commonly
17
located in __XBinDir__. The Quartz X server, for running in parallel with
18
Aqua, is a full-fledged Mac OS X application that can be started from
19
the Finder. Its application bundle is XDarwin.app, which is typically
20
located in /Applications.
22
allows easy switching between these X servers and auto-detection of the
23
appropriate one to use when launching from the command line.
24
When run without any arguments,
26
will start the Quartz X server if the Core Graphics window server
27
is currently running. Otherwise it will start the IOKit X server.
29
To locate the Quartz X server,
31
will try to read the soft link at __XBinDir__/XDarwinQuartz.
32
This is typically a soft link to the executable of the XDarwin.app
33
application. If this fails,
35
will call Launch Services to locate XDarwin.app.
37
To start the IOKit X server,
39
will run the XDarwin execuatable, which should be present in the
43
accepts and passes on all options to the X server it
44
launches. In addition the following options have specific effects:
47
Launch the IOKit X server.
50
Launch the Quartz X server to run in full screen mode.
53
Launch the Quartz X server to run in rootless mode.
56
Launch the Quartz X server.
59
Pause and do nothing. This option is used by XDarwin.app when it is
60
started from the Finder.
66
/Applications/XDarwin.app
69
__XBinDir__/XDarwinQuartz

The path to XDarwinQuartz should not be hard coded.
