NAME

X-Deep/32 4.0  X Window System display server for Windows NT/2000 ® and Windows® 95/98/ME operating systems.

SYNOPSIS

xdeep32 [option ...]

DESCRIPTION

X-Deep/32 is full 32 bit, multi-threaded X Window System display server implementation, using Win32® API for Windows NT/2000® and Windows® 9x/ME operating systems. It coexists seamlessly with other applications on the desktop. Besides providing full X11R6.5.1 compliance, it supports various features to enhance the cross platform inter operability between the remote X client application and local Windows NT/2000® and Windows® 9x/ME applications. The latest release of X-Deep/32 X-Server offers improved usability features that enables a user to connect to remote hosts quickly and be up and running in no time.

STARTING THE SERVER

Just double click on the X-Deep/32 icon, in the start menu -> Programs -> folder X-Deep/32 4.0 -> X-Server or the shortcut X-Server created by the install program. On the first startup X-Deep/32 will detect all the network interfaces on your computer, and lets you choose the default interface to which X-Deep/32 should bind to. The default selection is to listen to all the network interface. If you want to bind to specific interface select the interface of your choice. This is useful for systems that have multiple network cards and want X-Deep/32 to listen on a specific network only. After the initial startup, X-Deep/32 will only show the network interface selection dialog if the network interfaces changes. You can choose to show the dialog every time on startup too, by selecting the check box shown below.

X-Deep/32 4.0 has a builtin XDM (X Display Manager) chooser, that can scan the local area network for XDM enabled hosts. This is enabled by default. It shows a dialog box as shown below, that enables you to select a remote UNIX/LINUX host to connect to. You can disable this auto lookup by editing the X-Server options -> XDMCP tab -> disable the local XDM chooser. XDM offers easy connection to remote UNIX/LINUX systems. To enable XDM you will have to setup the remote system to start the xdm or similar program. Your UNIX/LINUX system administrator can help you setup this. If your remote host is running AIX, this feature is enabled by default.
Use the Connect button to connect to the desired host. Use Reset List button to refresh the list of hosts. Use the Normal Mode button to start the X-Server to start in non-XDM mode. You can disable checking for XDM enabled host by unchecking the checkbox at the bottom of the dialog. You can also use the standard XDMCP options of query, indirect and broadcast options that was available in the previous release of X-Deep/32, by selecting the appropriate options in the X-Server options dialog by choosing the XDMCP tab (see X-Server options below).
If you are starting the X-Server in Normal Mode, you can start local clients/demo programs or run remote X application over the TCP/IP network, using one of the following alternative method.
  1. telnet :First make sure that either access control is disabled in the X-Server or you have added the remote host in your trusted host list. This can be done from the X-Server options property tab "Security". You can also use xhost client (provided) to enable the remote host to make connection to the X-Server. Either do xhost + or xhost <remote host name>. Please refer to the xhost online man page for more information. Then use the short cut pointer to local Windows Telnet (X-Deep/32 Window : File -> Shortcut to Telnet) to connect to the remote host. After logging in, set your DISPLAY environment variable to the <IP address or name of your system>:0 . Then start the X clients from your remote host.
  2. Xcl - X Client Launcher : xcl is a very simple to use program that enables you to execute local and remote X Client program executable. It provides simple dialog box for specifying command line arguments and options to capture stdout etc.).
  3. Local X Clients :Local clients from the X-Deep/32 – X Clients folder can be started by just double clicking on the various client shortcuts. Before the local clients are started, it is launched via xcl – X Client Launcher application, which is a front end for starting the client applications locally. Xcl allows you to specify client application specific options, DISPLAY environment variable, and a choice of capturing the standard error and standard output from the applications. It also enables you to save the client application options into the registry database of the HKEY_CURRENT_USER, for easy customizing of client options. You can save more than one set of client application options and save it by giving a name. Next time you start the client application, the saved options can be loaded prior to starting the application.
The X-Deep/32 X-Servermay also be started directly from a shell command line, by typing xdeep32 with or without the arguments discussed below. Command line arguments will override the current user defaults. Options can also be changed and are saved in HKEY_CURRENT_USER group of registry database, using the Options Dialog under Edit menu. Please see description on the various options below.
When the X-Server starts up, it displays the logo bitmap, and minimizes itself. Depending upon whether the root window draw option is enabled, it will draw the root window. After it minimizes itself, it is ready to accept connections locally or over the network.

FEATURES

  1. X-Deep/32X-Server supports three window modes : Single Window Mode, Multiple MS Window Modeand Multiple MS Window, X Window Manager ModeThe default window mode is Single Window Mode.You can change the window mode from the X-Server Options dialog box.

    • Single Window Mode :This mode requires an X Window manager to manage all the X applications. Twm window manager is supplied with this distribution that can be run locally on your Windows system to manage X Client windows inside the single X root window. You may however choose to run an X Window manager such as motif mwm, kde kwm etc. from a remote system also. If you are connecting to an XDM enabled hosts, the initial startup session starts these window managers automatically.
    • Multiple MS Window Mode :In Multiple MS Window Mode each top level X Client window is created as a Microsoft Window and there is a selective option to draw the root window on the windows desktop. In this mode the window management is done locally by the X-Server. Trying to run another X window manager will fail. If you want to run a particular X window manager to suit your X applications, you should chose Single Window Mode. Multiple MS Window Mode however gives you a consistent look and feel of both X Client applications and local Windows applications.
    • Multiple MS Window, X Window Manager Mode :This mode is similar to Multiple MS Window Mode, except, you can run a remote X Window Manager like twm, mwm etc. This is useful if you want to run applications in Multiple MS Window Mode, but certain applications are dependent on a specific window manager. In this mode, the root window drawing is disabled, because it can interfere with the Microsoft desktop root window.
  2. X-Deep/32 X-Server supports running multiple instances. The next instance you start will automatically listens on the next available port after 6000. (Note: The default TCP port that X-Server listens to is 6000) This means if your first instance is running on port 6000 which corresponds to display :0, the next instance will be :1, and then :2 and so on. Using XDM connections, this allows connections to different hosts with different instances thereby providing the independent connections to different remote hosts at the same time.
  3. The X-Deep/32 X-Server comes with integrated xmodmap functionality that lets you configure the keyboard and the mouse on startup automatically. You can specify an xmodmap format file to the X-Server either using the Options property sheet or from the command line (using –keymap <filename>) to configure your keyboard and the mouse. Following default xmodmap files are supplied for various foreign languages in the directory <xdeep32 dir>\usr\lib\X11\keymaps. You can modify them to suit your requirements and specify the file to the X-Server.
    • arabic.map
    • belgium.map

  4. X-Deep/32 X-Server supports font server. You can specify the remote font server in the default font path. It also provides for automatic detection of font servers from XDM enabled hosts in the network. See the OPTIONS section to see how you can use this feature to easily add a font server in your network for use by X-Deep/32 X-Server.
  5. Various host control mechanism is provided for security. You can enable the host control via the X-Server options Security property tab. The default host control is disabled by default (changed from prior releases). You can enable the access control and control the hosts that connect to your X-Server via Xn.hosts, file or specify the hosts that you would like via the property sheet GUI dialog windows.
  6. The default color depth for the X-Server depends on the chosen color resolution of your Windows display setting. X-Deep/32 supports depths of 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32. For depths greater than 8 bit, X-Deep/32 supports an 8 bit PseudoColor emulation mode. This is useful for certain X application that are written specifically for 8 bit pseudo color. You can choose this option from the X-Server options Miscellaneous property tab.
  7. X-Deep/32 X-Server also supports cut and paste of text data from X applications and other Windows NT® and Windows® 95 applications by mirroring any data that appears in X-Server’s selection properties and Windows clipboard in CF_TEXT format. The choice of X-Server’s selection property (PRIMARY, SECONDARY, CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER0, CUT_BUFFER1,.. CUT_BUFFER6) can be selected from the options Miscellaneous property sheet. This enables, for example, easy cut and paste of text selections between xterm and any local word processor applications supporting cut and paste. (Please note : xterm uses PRIMARY selection property, CDE applications uses CLIPBOARD selection property).
  8. Besides cut and paste of text data, X-Deep/32 allows cutting any graphics bitmap data from any X client application to the Windows clipboard, which can be picked up by any local application that supports pasting of bitmap data via CF_BITMAP clipboard format, e.g. paint etc. Use the system menu provided for X-Deep/32 Root Window   oreach X client window (in multiple window mode) to select the area that needs to be copied to the clipboard.
  9. The Print option of system menu for X-Deep/32 Root Window and each X client window (in multiple window mode) also support printing the entire X window or a portion of the window to the local printer.
  10. The X-Deep/32 supports depths of 4, 8, 16, 24, and 32 depending on the depth and resolution setting of the video adapter. The depth and resolution is controlled by control panel utility in the Windows environment. 
  11. X-Deep/32 X-Server also implements local transport via shared memory. This enables running local X clients, compiled with X-Deep/32 Xlibs to connect to the X-Server, even if the TCP/IP is not installed. To use local transport the DISPLAY environment variable should be set as :n.0., where n is the display number, usually 0. All the basic X clients supplied with X-Deep/32 clients fileset, is compiled with this feature enabled.
  12. Emulates a middle mouse button on 2 button mouse. The middle button mouse event is generated when pressing the right and left buttons simultaneously and holding for given period. The time delay is configurable. See Input property tab in X-Server options.
  13. It supports virtual size for root window in Single Window Mode.
