4.1 Overview

There are several ways to start up X Windows on your HP Alpha
system.

Invoking X from Command Line

xdm
CDE
This chapter assumes the use of csh environment.
4.2 Invoking X from Command Line
To start up X Windows from the command line, simply type:
prompt# /usr/bin/X11/X
This will start windows on all the graphics cards in the system in
multi-screen mode. The screen-order is determined by which
graphics card is first identified by the system.
NOTE: If you start up X from the command line, it will come up
with the default background but no X Clients. X Client programs
must be started up remotely.
To change the screen-order, use the -screenOrder option.
For example,
prompt# X –screenOrder 1,0
This reverses the orders of screens 1 and 0.The default screen
order is 0,1,2, and so on.
