When CDE is not used, the normal method of starting X is via the x11start script which is simply a "wrapper" around xinit, providing environment and command line setup appropriate for HP systems. Currently this process is not supported but is provided to ensure compatibility with previous setups. Specifically, x11start performs the following startup tasks: • PATH environment variable set-up appropriate for the X environment • X server startup • Selected client(s) startup from a specific client file • General user resource loading from a specific resource file x11start encompasses the following components: • The /usr/contrib/bin/X11/x11start script • The /usr/contrib/bin/X11/xinit program • The default client script, /usr/contrib/lib/X11/sys.x11start • The default resource file, /usr/contrib/lib/X11/sys.Xdefaults Customized client and resource files can be created by copying the default files to $HOME/.x11start and $HOME/.Xdefaults, respectively, and then customizing them. Customized files that exist (with the appropriate permissions) will be used by the x11start components in place of the default files. Client options pass from the x11start command line to all clients in the .x11start file that have a $@ parameter. The options replace the parameter. This method is most often used to specify an alternative display for the client. You can, however, also use the command-line option to specify a non-default parameter, such as a different background color. The default .x11start file starts the following clients: • A terminal emulation client, such as hpterm • mwm Server options are preceded by a double hyphen (--). If the option following the double hyphen begins with a slash (/) or a path and a slash, it starts a server other than the default server. If the option begins 114
