NAME
     Xephyr - X server outputting to a window on a pre-existing X
     display

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/Xephyr [:display] [option ...]

DESCRIPTION
     Xephyr is a kdrive server that outputs to a window on a pre-
     existing "host" X display.  Think Xnest but with support for
     modern extensions like composite, damage and randr.

     Unlike Xnest which is an X proxy, i.e.  limited to the capa-
     bilities  of  the  host  X server, Xephyr is a real X server
     which uses the host X server  window  as  "framebuffer"  via
     fast SHM XImages.

     It also has support for "visually" debugging what the server
     is painting.

OPTIONS
     The server accepts all the standard  options  of  Xserver(1)
     and the following additional options:

     -screen widthxheight
             sets the screen size.

     -parent id
             uses exiting window id .  If a -screen argument fol-
             lows a -parent argument,  this  screen  is  embedded
             into the given window.

     -host-cursor
             set  'cursor  acceleration':  The  host's  cursor is
             reused. This is only really there to  aid  debugging
             by  avoiding  server  paints for the cursor. Perfor-
             mance improvement is negligible.

SIGNALS
     Send a SIGUSR1 to the server (e.g. pkill  -USR1  Xephyr)  to
     toggle  the debugging mode.  In this mode red rectangles are
     painted to screen areas getting painted before painting  the
     actual  content.   The  delay between this can be altered by
     setting a XEPHYR_PAUSE env var to a value in micro  seconds.

CAVEATS
     o Rotated  displays  are  currently  updated via full blits.
       This is slower than a  normal  orientated  display.  Debug
       mode will therefore not be of much use rotated.

     o The '-host-cursor' cursor is static in its appearance.

     o The  build  gets  a warning about 'nanosleep'. I think the
       various '-D' build flags are causing this. I haven't  fig-
       ured  as  yet  how  to work round it. It doesn't appear to
       break anything however.

     o Keyboard handling is basic but works.

     o Mouse button 5 probably won't work.
