-clipboard
Enables the integration between the Xming clipboard and
Windows clipboard.
-clipupdates num_boxes
Use a clipping region to constrain shadow update blits to
the updated region when num_boxes, or more, are in the
updated region. Diminished effect on current Windows
versions because they already group GDI operations together
in a batch, which has a similar effect.
-depth bits_per_pixel
Specify an optional bitdepth to use in fullscreen mode
with a DirectDraw engine.
-emulate3buttons [timeout]
Emulate a 3 button mouse with an optional timeout in
milliseconds. The default timeout is 50 milliseconds.
-engine engine_type_id
Override the server's automatically selected engine type:
1 - Shadow GDI
2 - Shadow DirectDraw
4 - Shadow DirectDraw4 Non-Locking
Do not use this parameter unless instructed to do so.
-fullscreen
Run the server in fullscreen mode with -depth and -refresh
set as required.
-ignoreinput
Ignore keyboard and mouse input. This is usually only used for
testing and debugging purposes.
-internalwm
EXPERIMENTAL: Run the internal window manager.
-[no]keyhook
Grab special windows key combinations like Alt-Tab or the Menu
key. These keys are discarded by default.
-lesspointer
Hide the windows mouse pointer when it is over an inactive
Xming window. This prevents ghost cursors appearing where
the Windows cursor is drawn over the X cursor.
-logfile filename
Write logmessages to <filename> instead of Xming.n.log,
where n is the display-number of the X Server.
-logverbose verbosity
Set the verbosity of logmessages. [NOTE: Only a few messages
respect the settings, so not much use yet]
0 - only print fatal error.
1 - print additional configuration information.
2 - print additional runtime information [default].
3 - print debugging and tracing information.
-[no]multimonitors (or -[no]multiplemonitors)
Use the entire virtual screen if multiple monitors are
present.
-multiwindow
Run the server in multiwindow mode. Not to be used
together with -rootless or -fullscreen.
-mwextwm
EXPERIMENTAL: Run the server in multiwindow external
window manager mode. Use with xwinwm.
-nodecoration
Do not draw a window border, title bar, etc. Windowed
mode only i.e. ignored when -fullscreen specified.
-noicons
Disable the conversion of X icons in multiwindow mode.
Use to prevent an infrequent crash in miGetImage().
This is a work-around that most people won't need.
-nounicodeclipboard
Disable Unicode in the clipboard.
-refresh rate_in_Hz
Specify an optional refresh rate to use in fullscreen mode
with a DirectDraw engine.
-rootless
Use a transparent root window with an external window
manager (such as openbox). Not to be used with
-multiwindow or with -fullscreen.
-screen scr_num [width height [x y] | [[WxH[+X+Y]][@m]] ]
Enable screen scr_num and optionally specify a width and
height and initial position for that screen. Additionally
a monitor number can be specified to start the server on,
at which point, all coordinates become relative to that
monitor. Examples:
-screen 0 800x600+100+100@2 ;2nd monitor offset 100,100 size 800x600
-screen 0 1024x768@3 ;3rd monitor size 1024x768
-screen 0 @1 ;on 1st monitor using its full resolution (the default) -scrollbars
In windowed mode, allow screens bigger than the Windows desktop.
Moreover, if the window has decorations, one can now resize
it. Do not use in conjunction with -multiwindow or with -rootless.
-silent-dup-error
If another instance of Xming is found running, exit silently
and don't display the error message.
-swcursor
Disable the usage of the windows cursor and use the X11 software
cursor instead.
-[no]trayicon

icon per screen. You can globally disable tray icons with
-notrayicon, then enable it for specific screens with
-trayicon for those screens.
-[no]unixkill

key combo is disabled by default.
-version
Write version and help text to the console (unless built
console-less) and to the log file.
-[no]winkill
Alt-F4 exits the X Server. The Alt-F4 key combo is enabled
by default.

-xkbmodel XKBModel
