Tru64 UNIX

This document, "Tru64 UNIX X Window System Environment" (Part Number: AA-RH9JC-TE, September 2002, for Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1B or higher), serves as a manual for system administrators, programmers, and end users regarding the Tru64 UNIX implementation of the X Window System Release 6.5 (X11 R6.5).

The manual is organized into three main chapters:

1. X Window System Administration: Covers topics essential for managing the X environment, including choosing and configuring display managers (xdm or dtlogin), understanding the locations of X Window System files, implementing security and authorization, troubleshooting login problems, managing the X server (including its loadable extensions), supported graphics adapters, and font server management. It also discusses managing X terminals and memory utilization.
2. Customizing the X Environment: Details how to personalize the X Window System. This includes defining and loading resources (with attention to precedence and file structure), using command-line options, and employing various client utilities for customization (e.g., editres, xset, xsetroot, xrdb, xmodmap). It also provides guidance on creating X session scripts and bypassing the login manager.
3. Programming in the Tru64 UNIX X Window Environment: Focuses on developer-specific information. This chapter describes a comprehensive list of X server extensions supported by Tru64 UNIX (e.g., BIG_REQUESTS, DPMS, EVI, LBX, MIT-SCREEN-SAVER, MIT-SHM, OpenGL, PanoramiX, RX, RCM, Security, SHAPE, SMT, SYNC, TOG-CUP, XC-MISC, XIE, X Input, XKB, XKME, Xp, XTrap, XTEST, XV), customizing the X Display Manager greeter module, and other programming updates related to functions, link order for static X clients, and DECnet transport for X client/server connections.

The manual complements other X Window System literature and provides specific details relevant to the Tru64 UNIX operating system.
