.B \-sync
This option tells \fBnxagent\fR to synchronize its window and graphics
operations with the real server. This is a useful option for
debugging, but it will slow down \fBnxagent\fR's performance
considerably. It should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
.TP 8
.B \-full
This option tells \fBnxagent\fR to utilize full regeneration of real
server objects and reopen a new connection to the real server each
time \fBnxagent\fR regenerates. The sample server implementation
regenerates all objects in the server when the last client of this
server terminates. When this happens, \fBnxagent\fR by default
maintains the same top-level window and the same real server
connection in each new generation. If the user selects full
regeneration, even the top-level window and the connection to the real
server will be regenerated for each server generation.
.TP 8
.B \-class \fIstring\fP
This option specifies the default visual class of the nested server.
It is similar to the
.B \-cc
option from the set of standard options except that it will accept a string
rather than a number for the visual class specification.
The
.I string
must be one of the following six values:
.BR StaticGray ,
.BR GrayScale ,
.BR StaticColor ,
.BR PseudoColor ,
.BR TrueColor ,
or
.BR DirectColor .
If both the
.B \-class
and
.B \-cc
options are specified, the last instance of either option takes precedence.
The class of the default visual of the nested server need not be the same as the
class of the default visual of the real server, but it must be supported by the
real server.
Use
.BR xdpyinfo (__appmansuffix__)
to obtain a list of supported visual classes on the real server before
starting \fBnxagent\fR. If the user chooses a static class, all the
colors in the default color map will be preallocated. If the user
chooses a dynamic class, colors in the default color map will be
available to individual clients for allocation.
.TP 8
.B \-deferglyphs \fIwhichfonts\fP
specifies the types of fonts for which the server should attempt to use
deferred glyph loading. \fIwhichfonts\fP can be all (all fonts),
specifies the types of fonts for which the server should attempt to
use deferred glyph loading. \fIwhichfonts\fP can be all (all fonts),
none (no fonts), or 16 (16 bit fonts only).
.TP 8
.B \-depth \fIint\fP
This option specifies the default visual depth of the nested server.
The depth of the default visual of the nested server need not be the
same as the depth of the default visual of the real server, but it
must be supported by the real server. Use
.BR xdpyinfo (__appmansuffix__)
to obtain a list of supported visual depths on the real server before
starting \fBnxagent\fR.
.TP 8
.B \-geometry \fIW\fBx\fIH\fB+\fIX\fB+\fIY\fP
This option specifies the geometry parameters for the top-level
\fBnxagent\fR window. See \(lqGEOMETRY SPECIFICATIONS\(rq in
.BR X (__miscmansuffix__)
for a discusson of this option's syntax. This window corresponds to
the root window of the nested server. The width
.I W
and height
.I H
specified with this option will be the maximum width and height of
each top-level \fBnxagent\fR window. \fBnxagent\fR will allow the
user to make any top-level window smaller, but it will not actually
change the size of the nested server root window. If this option is
not specified, \fBnxagent\fR will choose
.I W
and
.I H
to be 3/4ths the dimensions of the root window of the real server.

.B \-dpi \fIresolution\fP

To be used when the server cannot determine the screen size(s) from the
hardware.
sets the resolution for all screens, in dots per inch. If this option
is not specified \fBnxagent\fR will assume 96. There's also
.B \-autodpi
which will clone the real server's dpi. Note that the resolution specified via
.B \-dpi
is a per session setting. It cannot be changed on reconnect! This means that
clients may look "wrong" when reconnecting a session that had been
started with a different dpi than the current real xserver.
