Ah, I see. No, there is no equivalent thing to a layout. I can't really see how this can be reworded without losing redundancy. So perhaps just something like: "It may be convenient to specify server options with startx to change them on a per-session basis." As the following sentences gives exactly the same examples again (making more clear they are examples rather than a complete list) with the caution that you need to check which arguments are legal for the specific X server. _______________________________________________ xorg-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
