https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D282326 Bug ID: 282326 Summary: [NEW PORT] x11/sx: Start an X.Org Server Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: bileslav@gmail.com Created attachment 254519 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D254519&action= =3Dedit x11/sx: Start an X.Org Server sx is a simple alternative to both xinit(1) and startx(1) for starting an X= org server. It started life as a proof of concept while attempting to learn how both xinit and startx worked while taking up the offer presented in startx: "Site administrators are STRONGLY urged to write nicer versions". It is not a dir= ect replacement however as it provides a different, more limited, interface: * The server's command-line is hard coded and not exposed to the user. * The server doesn't listen on anything except unix domain sockets. * The server starts on the first available tty. * $DISPLAY is coupled to the tty user logged in on. * xauth entries are overwritten if the displayname is identical. * Corresponding xauth entries are unconditionally removed when the server exits. * The server uses the -noreset flag. * While $XAUTHORITY is still honoured, $XDG_DATA_HOME/sx/xauthority is used= by default instead of $HOME/.Xauthority. * Very little proxy error checking is used preferring instead to let each t= ool speak for itself. * None of the typical /usr/local/etc/X11/xinit infrastructure is directly u= sed. * Neither $XINITRC is honoured nor .xinitrc used. * The $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/sx/sxrc file is used instead of .xinitrc and is requ= ired to be executable. Author's design choice of coupling the tty number to Xorg's vt argument and $DISPLAY is patched in this FreeBSD port.
