113 .B \-bs
116 .B \-c
117 turns off key-click.
119 .B c \fIvolume\fP
120 sets key-click volume (allowable range: 0-100).
122 .B \-cc \fIclass\fP
127 .B \-core
130 .B \-displayfd \fIfd\fP

231 .B \-p \fIminutes\fP
232 sets screen-saver pattern cycle time in minutes.
234 .B \-pn
236 its well-known sockets (connection points for clients), but
239 .B \-nopn
240 causes the server to exit if it fails to establish all of its well-known
243 .B \-r
244 turns off auto-repeat.
247 turns on auto-repeat.
249 .B -retro
253 servers, this implies -zap.
255 .B \-s \fIminutes\fP
256 sets screen-saver timeout time in minutes.

280 .B \-tst
287 sets video-off screen-saver preference.
289 .B \-v
290 sets video-on screen-saver preference.
292 .B \-wm
293 forces the default backing-store of all windows to be WhenMapped.  This
294 is a backdoor way of getting backing-store to apply to all windows.
303 .B \-wr
307 .B \-x \fIextension\fP
309 This is a no-op for most implementations.
311 .B [+-]xinerama
312 enables(+) or disables(-) the XINERAMA extension.  The default state is
317 .B \-ld \fIkilobytes\fP
318 sets the data space limit of the server to the specified number of kilobytes.
320 of \-1 leaves the data space limit unchanged.
322 .B \-lf \fIfiles\fP
323 sets the number-of-open-files limit of the server to the specified number.
324 A value of zero makes the limit as large as possible.  The default value
325 of \-1 leaves the limit unchanged.
327 .B \-ls \fIkilobytes\fP
328 sets the stack space limit of the server to the specified number of kilobytes.
330 of \-1 leaves the stack space limit unchanged.

386 .B \-indirect \fIhostname\fP
390 .B \-port \fIport-number\fP
391 uses the specified \fIport-number\fP for XDMCP packets, instead of the
392 default.  This option must be specified before any \-query, \-broadcast,
393 \-multicast, or \-indirect options.
395 .B \-from \fIlocal-address\fP
397 has multiple network interfaces).  The \fIlocal-address\fP may be expressed
